Oh no! I caught the ferry to Tallinn last night. We could have had a Finnish BtN meetup!

I like Lumi. I didn't realize till now that Calla was also Finnish.

I really liked my first visit to Finland. Wish I could afford to stay longer! Although Estonia is great too so can't complain.

Shame, enjoy your trip though.

Calla's not a Finnish name, it's Greek, but she does have a Finnish middle. She was born here just after we arrived.
