Ne, jotka vanhoja muistelee
Kotona. Ei tunnu aivan niin hyvälle kuin kotona olon pitäisi tuntua. Haikeus. Väsymys. Uuden matkan tarve, vaikka siihen ei olekaan nyt mahdollisuutta. Emme ole voittaneet lotossa. Todennäköisyyttä pienentää vielä se, ettei toinen aasi koskaan ...
Hanging out in the bars in Helsinki

Morning Walk
I was able to take a short walk this morning. I went to the water again in a different spot. I have noticed that graffiti is not covered up here for the most part. I guess people are just like dogs marking their territory. ...

In the Middle of Nowhere Finland

Back to rainy Helsinki
The coast of the Arctic Ocean is not so far away: it took about 24 hours to drive back from Pykeijä to Rovaniemi and take a night train to Helsinki. However, I have to admit that I was a little tired at work this morning. The snow storm is over in here ...

El frío y la lluvia ... El recuerdo ... Asimilando
Rovaniemi-Inari (7 de junio de 2010) Estoy en Inari. Si el tiempo lo permite, hoy llegaré al Mar de Barents . Ayer fue una ruta de 300 y pico kms. Lo cierto es que ya se que eso no es nada pero me llovió a mares y hacía frío, mucho frío. El caso es ...

Viimenen aamu Helsingissä
Tänään on se päivä! Kuukausien odotus palkitaan vihdoin Adam Strangen soidessa taustalla kohottamassa fiilistä. Lauri tuli eilen Helsinkiin ja haettiin vielä viimeset lääkkeet apteekista mukaan. Käytiin myös tsekkaamassa mistä bussit lähtee ...

Aasit lähtövalmiudessa
Tajusin vasta tänään eli kolme vuorokautta ennen lähtöämme, että aivan pian olemme kolmen kuukauden ajan vuoroin tien päällä ja vuoroin ilmassa. Ehkä vesilläkin tai pinnan alla jossain kohtaa reittiämme. Matka tuntuu jo melko todelta! ...
A lazy day & a dull match
Hey, just a quickie tonight. Last night it was tipping it down when we walked home from the Sports Academy bar. We had hoods on our coats, but we didn't use them. We had waterproof caps in our bag, we didn't wear them. We weren't as wet as you'd ...
