Ferry to Helsinki

This is a view from the top deck of the ferry we took from Stockholm to Helsinki a few days ago. It was about 10 p.m. and misty and foggy. No one else was up there and it was cold. You'd think it would be a very lonely place but it was quite invigorating. After taking this picture I returned to the casino lounge with Lee where a band was covering American oldies music. This ferry was like nothing I've ever seen. It was a 16 hour journey but there was so much to do on the boat: they had a store, a casino, several restaurants, a cafe, a few decks outside, a sauna downstairs, an arcade and lots of people to watch and mullets to document. We had our own little two bed berth with a private bathroom, very small but swank. Traveling by ferry is traveling in luxury.

You two are doing a fantastic job of keeping us who are stateside-stranded up to date! Perfekt!

Keep enjoying!

Sure didn't see much in the way of warm clothes in your backpacks - hope you have no regrets about packing light.

Miss you guys. Love, Mom
