{finland, day 16, pihlajasaari}


these two pictures are from yyteri. i forgot to put them here earlier. i took these picture just hours before the big storm that happened during the night. you can't tell by looking at the pictures, but the wind was blowing like crazy and the sand was flying all over the place. i had to have my back against the wind or the sand would get in my eyes. some crazy people were still swimming in the sea!
day 16:
after a tired and cranky morning, we headed to pihlajasaari, an island just off the coast where people go to suntan & to swim.
leaving the harbor on a boat. i wish the boat ride would have lasted longer.

sienna swam in the sea and played with the sand. nice, relaxing day by the sea.
i'm not into suntanning anymore. i burn too easily and i've realized that sun is the worst culprit when it comes to wrinkles. i hate the feel of sunscreen.
so i found a shady spot and just enjoyed the scenary and watching sienna swim/play.
the island has many beaches and a café.
going back to mainland.

kaivopuisto is one of my favorite places in helsinki. i used to go for long walks here. i'd literally walk for hours. until my feet couldn't take it anymore. loved it!
palaa
tää pää
kelaa, pelaa, esittää
sä tunnet tiet
minut viet
meren rantaan taas
missä puhaltaa
tuo tuuli joka puhdistaa
tän palavan pään
ja kaiken jälleen uudesti nään
ei jää
tää pää
mut nyt saa hetken
levähtää
sä tunnet tiet
minut viet
meren rantaan taas
(osa samuli edelmannin palava pää laulun sanoista)

another possibility for a summer apartment. a nice view of the sea. how to win the lottery when we don't even buy lottery tickets... :D
