Sunday Feb. 3rd, going to the Suomenlinna island, was the most amazing time I've had so far. It is definitely going to be one of the highlights of this semester. I have never had so much fun with freezing fingers and toes (I learned that mittens keep your fingers warmer than gloves do). We were all freezing yet we kept going and went around the island, explored the old fort and village, watched Tim and Anton jump off the roofs of the old houses, took as many pictures as our freezing fingers could take and took the boat back to Helsinki , satisfied with the whole experience (on the way back we all sat inside, as opposed to outside on the deck since we froze on the way to the island!). Looking at the 276 pictures that I took, I realized many of them were of icicles and ice-covered rocks. The Cold is painful but it's also beautiful. I am sure that we are gonna have just as much fun once we go to the other island, Outo.
