Our Christmas Vacation (Part 2)

FINLAND

Even though we did not enjoy Helsinki as much as the other places it was actually still a nice place looking back at the pictures. We saw some of the most amazing sunsets and sunrises since there was only sunlight with us from 9:00 - 16:00. I guess that was a sweet bonus to only having light for so long.


Here are some pictures of the nice churches we saw:

Senate Square Cathedral ----------------------- Uspensky Cathedral
(Where we sang Christmas
Carols on Christmas Eve)

Temppeliaukio Church (Rock Church - where we went for morning mass)


Sibelius Monument

These pictures are from the Suomenlinna Sea Fortress:



Here are some more pictures from around the city:






























Now here are a couple photos of us in Helsinki:


Hope you enjoyed the photos!


Stay tuned for Estonia!

WOW! Those churches are unreal. How did they build that rock one. Very cool. And Gord loves the sunsets. Did I ever tell you he takes about a million sunset pictures? When we had film cameras we used to get a roll back and it would be all sunsets except for one or two. Anyway, love the pics.

Janice and Gord,

Thanks! We love sunsets as well....but maybe not that much! haha That's funny. The churches were really neat, so many different ones.
And I don't know how the rock one was build, maybe Bri does and will tell you one day! ha Thanks for the post,

Louise
