Dad and daughter in front of Helsinki Cathedral

The Olympics took place in 1952. The kids posed with Paavo Nurmi, the Flying Finn, who won nine gold medals and three silvers from 1920 to 1928.

We found an American kid who got stuck inside one of the pipes . . . .

We sailed during the night of July 25th and arrived in Helsinki the next morning. We stopped by the Sibelius Monument that honors Finland's most famous composer, Jean Sibelius.
