After an all night journey across the Baltic Sea, we were greeted in the morning by our charming hostess Jasmine. She showed us her delightful apartment and escorted us to the most delicious breakfast at Cafe Tin Tin Tango. Afterwards we shopped the market for seasonal berries and mushrooms, wandered the design district, found earrings and flip books at Napa (means "belly button" in Finnish), checked out a typical hardware store, explored the Design Museum, made a pilgrimage to marimekko, and FINALLY saw some laundry (spotting it is challenging in Scandinavia). Finished up the evening at the Helsinki Festival with an extraordinary performance of punk-intersects-ballet-and-high-fash (fash is a word) "Animal Vegetable Mineral" choreography by the Michael Clark Company.
Clarke has navigated the streets, Lauren the internet and Lisa our attitudes. We couldn't ask for three more perfect Muskateers!
