Summer adventures vol.4: Foo Fighters in Helsinki

Ah the memories, the memories!
This summer went by fast, so it's nice to remind oneself of what fun things I had the opportunity to experience. One of the fun things was taking a road trip to Helsinki with Päivi, my best friend. We went to the Foo Fighters concert.

I don't know why I wanted to go see the Foo Fighters but maybe it was because I thought there'd be great music (no, I'm not a huuuuge fan, just a regular radio listening fan) and as a bonus - some good-looking rocker guys!;)

System cameras were not allowed, so I brought my old digital camera. And, as usual, I tend to do stuff too late, so I forgot to charge the energy consuming batteries and so they ran out before (yes, two sets of batteries!) I could even take one picture of the band!

But for your consolation, here are two rockin' chicks!;)

Rock rock.

"Why am I not a rock star? I've got the looks!"

Pre-Easter in Helsinki

I had such a lovely time with my dear friend, Saija, who I stayed with for a couple of nights in Helsinki. I'm glad I went there already on Tuesday - that way we had Tuesday evening and all of Wednesday to wander around and experience Helsinki.

So, on Tuesday we had drinks and dinner at a very nostalgic Finnish restaurant called Sävel - very nice atmosphere and they serve the most amazing aioli with their burgers - yummy! On Wednesday we took off to the Finnish Museum of Photography (my first time there!) at Kaapelitehdas, followed by shopping, amazing sushi at Sushi n' Roll (in Eira), cake eating at Kakkugalleria, and last, Saija's Danish language course with Danish smørrebrød... Great stuff!:)

Here are a few of my favorite shots from that part of my Easter Holiday - the rest (from my home town and Ostrobothnia) will come in another blog post.
