trip to europe (a month ago) jyväskylä

I remember we spent some time at a station waiting for a train which was, oh my god, about seven minutes late but I can't remember where the station was, only that this was the only interesting thing to look at there. 

These beautiful dogs were in a really nice cafe called Beans&More. They sleep up the back most of the time it would seem but then they come sadly down to tables when new people come into the cafe and try to make friends. And succeed I should add. 

The images below are from when we went on a walk around Jyväsjärvi, which is the lake on the banks of which Jyväskylä sits. These ducks were having the time of their lives in actual running water that was not a million miles from a factory which kind of suggests that the water was warmer than freezing and coming out of the factory but I'm pretty sure it wasn't, like, toilet water. 

Nice 

trip to europe (a month ago)

Sometimes when I upload a bunch of images they upload in the reverse order, I have no idea why. But this is how we ended our day in Jyskävylä, by playing this game, which has a special name in Finland which I can't remember offhand but which means 'swaying tower', and which Laura knows as Jenga. I'd never played it, or at least I don't remember doing so. I was so tired by the end of this day (in fact, I am virtually comatose at the end of every day) that it was a special effort on her part I think to make me stay awake long enough to not be in danger of waking up at 4am (which I do most days anyway). 

The activities room at the craft museum. We didn't do any activities. 

I just enjoyed someone's way of signing the guest book, that's all. Maybe when Nanna Känninen is accused of a crime and says but I was in Jyväskylä and I can prove it, I signed the guest book at the craft museum, and they say well that page has been torn out so there is no proof, this picture can be proof. 

This is earlier in the day, of course, in Tampere, a big intersection and a weird rocket or ventilation tower or something. 

Waterfront property. 

Laura looked up this story. The first air fatality in Finland I think. A Swedish noble donated a plane and be careful of Swedish nobles bearing gifts is all I can say. 

We are too scared to walk on the ice. 

Closed amusement park, unless you're a bird in which case you find your amusement where you can. 

Tampere is full of amazing apparently unpolluting industry just sitting around in-between the apartments and the shops, I love it. 

Goodbye Tampere until next time.
