Home Sweet Home

Well, it's been a whirlwind tour of Scandinavia. We took a 12 day cruise stopping in the ports of: Oslo, Norway, Copenhagen, Denmark, Stockholm, Sweden, Helsinki, Finland, St. Petersburg, Russia, and Tallin, Estonia. Every city had its own personality and charm. They were gorgeous in their own right, and had so much to discover. Besides the architectural beauty of the cities, the artwork was wonderful. We stumbled into open air exhibitions, design museums, sculpture parks, etc. It was so exciting and enriching from both a cultural standpoint and an artistic one. Though I suppose those two are often intertwined. I'm still working through all the pictures and info that I want to share. So in the meantime, I thought I would just post a few pictures of the cities from our trip. I hope you enjoy them. I will be back soon with some more substantial posts :)

In order these are: 1. Farmland seen by train on the way to Harwich, England. 2. The Little Mermaid Statue in Copenhagen. Dedicated to Hans Christian Andersen. 3. The Vasa Museum in Stockholm. 4. Stairway leading up to the Astronomical Clock in City Hall, Copenhagen. 5. Yusupov's Palace, St. Petersburg 6. Church of the Spilt Blood, St. Petersburg. 7. Tallin building. 8. Water ways.
