Huh? Exactly. Have you ever tried learning Finnish? The only recognizable word for most of us is sauna. Kirjakauppa is Bookstore. If I was in Finland I would ask the hotel guy where to find a bookstore, or even better, a used bookstore. (I already know where the concert venue is so I wouldn't have to ask about that.) I'm on a quest to find a hymnal in Finnish. I think it will be really clever to turn it into my HIM journal. Recently some friends were in Finland and they visited a beautiful church – a hymnal was probably within reach…..I wonder what bad karma you would get if you stole one?
Laura alerted me to the Finnish bible on ebay, and that's when I found the English hymnal, which I will alter and settle with unless a Finnish one surfaces in the next few weeks. When I was with Judi last weekend I scored the dictionary – it has tabbed letters, really cool. Speaking of old books – I wrote a little story about books for Lisa, found on her second blog: Gypsy Bonfire.
Speaking of second blogs, I've posted a new crusade on my Street Team. Congrats to Hanna Andersson for being the Top Hat Pick for No. 28.
And back to my visit with Judi….had a blast! We tried really hard to get a good myspace-type photo of ourselves and giggled 'til it hurt when we broke her glasses. I've sworn to delete most of the photos, (incriminating evidence – too much valkoviini*) here's what is left:
*valkoviini: white wine
