A friend came to visit for a few days and managed to see more of Helsinki in about twelve hours of walking than I had seen in the six weeks before she arrived.
Shamed, I started hoofing my way around the city, alone and with friends, to catch up. Below is one of the main streets in Helsinki, notably NOT during Saturday afternoon when all streets in the city center are crowded with people gleefully shopping away the last week's worth of salary.
First stop: the Lutheran Cathedral, also thought of as the center of Helsinki. Location: approximately 1.5 blocks from where I work.
There are some nice statues in front...
Including one which shows that Finns do in fact have a sense of humor...
