I am now here in Helsinki, Finland.  I arrived on Wednesday morning on my flight from Milano, Italy.  It’s been great to see Maria, Lexi and Lil Shit for the first time in about a month.

The past two days have been pretty filled between seeing some of our friends here in the city and also getting Maria’s business up and running.  She signed the contracts for her new space yesterday, so the construction project begins.  Lucky for her, she just imported some cheap immigrant labor to get everything done for her on the cheap.

We are heading to her parents this weekend to begin the Christmas traditions by baking and constructing gingerbreads.  I’ll have a little more free time to write while there, so I’ll try to get down all that has happened over the past few days.

Until then, Moi!  (goodbye in Finnish)
