Midsummer in Finland - and other adventures

So the 1,5 weeks in Finland went too fast. At least I enjoyed all the moments there and didn't sit still too much. Here is a variation of photos from my trip, a lot of traditional Finnish things and lovely flowers from my mom's garden. Hope you enjoy them!

In the airplane, free wine!

Also Marko was happy about it

Summer in Finland is the best time to visit, and I really loved the holiday there. Thanks for everyone who had the time to see me, and see you again in December!
