So we arrived in Helsinki at 8:15am. You all are probably sound asleep since midnight there. The almost 9 hour flight is pretty brutal...not gonna sugar coat that one! We were lucky though in that Harris did fantastic! We gave him Benadryl with dinner and he watched a movie until it kicked in. He had a good four hour stretch of sleep. Matt and I weren't so fortunate to get some zzz's. We took a cab straight to our hotel which is very nice. Harris and I are staying at the hotel while Matt goes to the embassy to add more passport pages.
My impression on Finland so far is great! People are nice and seems like most everyone knows English. Helsinki is pretty and lots of people are outside enjoying the perfect temperature of 68. Lots of bikes with baskets! Very modern!
Spending one night here in Helsinki then taking the train tomorrow morning to Imatra. Hopefully it won't take us long to get adjusted to the time change!
Love to all!!
