Day 11

We ate our last breakfast at the Torni restaurant. I will miss the ready-made hot breakfasts every day! We took a walk along the coast, trying to find the American Embassy, but we never found it. We ate again at the outdoor market for lunch, and then did some last-minute shopping at Stockmann.

Niklas picked us up and we spent our final evening in Finland at his home with his family. They have been so hospitable. I even managed some primitive communication with 2-year-old Tessie, who knows Swedish and Finnish but not English.

Tanja served us mushroom quiche, coffee, and rolls for supper. We sat and talked for a few hours, and then Niklas brought us back to our hotel so we could pack.
