Hey Chilicutter,
I know some Finlanders besides you....
My company is forest products chemicals and I get to visit Finland every so often to work with some of the paper mills. I was there last May. I started in Kemi and took the train with my son to Turku and he and I took the Ferry to Stockholm.
What a great trip!
Anyway, you've got a beautiful country, great food, nice people (albeit a bit reserved), and I can't believe you can grow peppers over there! LOL
What part of Finland do you reside in?
Take care,
Bob
