Lapland

I am limited to photos I took with my phone here, but you should get the idea.  Its beautiful...and dark.

Tight fit on the way to the airport.


Then Mike took a digger getting off the van.


For some reason these riders felt their furry friends were not safe around me.


The air magazine had some fun Finn facts.


When you travel with Matt I feel its important to take photos of Matt taking photos.




Hallelujah we made it.  Merry almost Christmas. (at the time)


I went inside and asked but tourist information didn't know anything about these kids lying around in the parking lot.


His Finnish name sounded a little like Ed so I tried talking to him but he didn't say anything back.


Matt taught everyone to ski.


Which made them tired.  And hungry.


The reindeer wouldn't talk either.


Not even to Lucia.


Those two don't know it yet but in about 10m they are going to come skidding into the finish line  behind a racing reindeer.  As the operator said, "I wish we had a video of that."



Around town.


Sorry about the glare on the key phrase.


You can pull kids on these little green public sleds.


Eventually we had to go home.
