a delightful encounter.....a simple smile and a short chat just before a walk in Estonia and a promised to get together for a drink in Finland. It becomes a wonderful evening in Helsinki, salmon and wine, a fabulous house on the countryside. He is so warm and she is so tender; both really welcoming and nurturing. The perfect hosts! We chatted for hours about life, history, events, personal dreams. I asked: what would you like me to say about you? Instant shyness, read faces, timid response: " we are Finnish, we go under the radar, we don't brag about us... at all". Such a sweet way to start our visit in Finland.... it was a perfect entry to this country and its people.!
