Suomenlinna Fortress
Today was mainly about going to Suomenlinna Fortress. It's about a 15 minute boat trip from Helsinki Harbour and cost the same as a bus fare. It is a military fortress build in the early 1700's and established in 1748. There are 5 Islands connected with bridges making it easy to walk all of them. Here's the thing about this island ....... It is very very windy out there. I had dreads when I got back. Anyways ... we walked around the island looking at the buildings, guns, bunkers and the rest. It's definitely an interesting place and well worth the trip.

ReplyDeleteOk so I will tell you the scoop on Austin....he is officially a valley west hawk (yes he made the team and I have never seen him so happy). He made it as a winger.
