U.P.C.I. A.I.M. Trip 8/2005 — 6/2006

 Helsinki, Finland


(Below are various sights in Helsinki during the months of January & February 2006;
it was nearly -30°F during our second visit - now that makes for a "very cold walk" outside!)

 Mom and Miranda chose to ignore this part of the trip!

We enjoyed a fun day at the museum while we were "fact-hunting."
