Finnished?? Not Quite.

Step count: 17,885.
Our cruise was super fun. We took a hearty nap (4.5 hours) before we
started karaoke at 9:30. Kristy and I did a duet to Sweet Caroline and
then she sang I Don't Want to Miss a Thing. She was a crowd favorite,
because the crowd was just me.
We did some dancing on the boat. The music was too techno to stay so
we found the live entertainment instead. This band rocked. I wish they
could perform at any future Rock n Roll parties my mom might be
thinking of hosting. We called it a night after Kristy was nice enough
to dance with a Finnish boy. We didn't know about the time change
between Sweden and Finland and stayed an extra hour on the boat. We
had wondered why no one else was around...
Everything in Helsinki was within walking distance. That makes two
days in a row without paying for public transit. We saw the sea
fortress and an orthodox church and tried some food at an open market.
Kristy found her book and magnet and we spent the rest of the day
mozying around. We took a nap in nearly every location.
Our train ride to St Petersburg was 3.5 hours and they are very
serious about customs and immigration. Officials came through the
compartment several times checking all the documents.
Now that we've made it to Russia I can't believe I'm here. Maybe it
will feel more real after I wake up. There's a 10 hour time difference
to Utah so maybe today I'll say good afternoon. Bye!
