Helsinki

In Helsinki, we were "parked" in the middle of the city right next to the Helsinki Eye.  One car on the ferris wheel is actually a sauna.  We're told that there are more saunas in Finland than there are cars.

We took a pretty extensive walking tour of the city.  Again, it was hotter than a pistol, but a nice breeze came up after a while.  We passed by the Senate Square:

Some curious architectural decor:

The train station, with its very serious looking guardians:

The Rock Church.  It really is constructed out of rocks, covered by a huge dome:

And ended up at the Sibelius monument:

We were off again, and headed for Russia.
