Tampere!

Had a ridiculously fun weekend with my buddy Karl Koivisto- fellow Husky CC member/American/Yooper (wannabe!)
Good times- fun to be able to talk without worrying if I was saying the right words.. not that it would matter around Karl!
Sunny weather ALL WEEKEND in Tampere



Tampere's attempt at Winter Carnival

Turns out that I'm not the only one that has great ski trails very close by!

We ran on singletrack through the woods around a lake-
It gets so hard packed that you could, and people do, bike on it.



Post-run snack: Rye bread and cheese

Karl's million dollar view

The World Championships of Kykkä were hosted in Tampere..

..only in Finland do you find an outdoor hot tub and sauna in the middle of campus


Sporting the classic Finnish Departmental Coveralls

Tampereen Tuomiokirkko..
..and some random people getting married..



Visited the Public Sauna/Avanto at Rauhaniemi..
..Right next to where Sam lived!

Some say, start 'em young..

Karl on his 1st of Three munkki's..
Tried talking him out of a third ("I need one for the road!"), but it only encouraged him.
These things are addictive- now I know where Karl's money is going

The view from Pyynikin näkötorni

Cookin' up some stir fry

Here's to friendship, food, and.. ..Finland.

Saying goodbye at none other than McDonalds!

A little shout-out to Sam and Amanda!
