Meanwhile in Paradise

You know you’ve had a great trip if you have lots of nice photos to show later. You know you’ve had an AWESOME trip when you hardly have any at all.

I just went through my camera roll and there’s just food, flowers and animals. It’s been so much fun that I completely forgot to snap blog photos for later. Spent a day with Olga in Helsinki and didn’t reach for the phone once. Met Konrad in Porvoo and only got a couple of tourist pics of Old Town. Had plenty of opportunities to photograph all the places I visited with my parents – nothing. Then, finally, when I had lunch with Iia in her lovely greenhouse, I at least managed to get some shots of the yummies. It’s truly amazing having such wonderful, funny and talented people in my life. Love forever! ❤️

I might not have shoved the camera in anyone’s face this time, but there were some that shoved their face into the camera…. 😂

Apologies for being a lazy blogger again. I’ve been hanging out with the framily since Midsummer, sleeping until one in the afternoon and drinking bubbly almost every evening. 🤪 You’ll see some pics later. Here are a few souvenir shots from right before boarding.

I just love how airy, modern, and functional Helsinki-Vantaa airport is. My favorite updates over the last few years include not needing to remove liquids or electronics at security and the new self-scanning option at the tax-free shop. Plus, there are plenty of restaurants selling real food (as opposed to yucky over-fried junk). Please, Miami Airport, take note. This is how you do it.
