I took a bus to Estonia and then a ferry to Helsinki to meet my mom when she arrived for her visit to Latvia. Her flight ended up being delayed so I got a chance to walk around the city before she arrived. I knew that Finland was part of the Russian Empire but I didn't expect the architecture to remind me so much of St. Petersburg. Here are some the photos of my adventures..before it started down pouring!
Me on the boat from Estonia..it was really windy!
The main town square..eerily reminiscent of St. Petersburg with a statue of Alexander II.
Me and the Helsinki Cathedral (the city's most famous landmark).
The Helsinki harbor with an orthodox church in the background.
