Finland Day #3

On our last day in Finland, we enjoyed a delicious restaurant recommended by a local (our weekend splurge). The restaurant did not have an English menu, so we thought that was probably a good indication of where we should go to taste real Finnish food. We each got something different to eat, and were each very pleased with our choices! My dish was in a skillet, and had a piece of bread on the bottom, then chicken cubes, pineapple, and a very tomato-y and creamy sauce, and melted cheese and spinach on top. It was definitely comfort food!

We also shared a chocolate dessert with ice cream.

It was kind of a fancy restaurant, but it didn't stop me from licking in the plate,
because everything was so good!

That day we also went to a spy museum (which we couldn't take pictures of). It had some hands-on activities which we enjoyed, as well as the information about spies and tactics from the past. We also stopped at a small outdoor shopping market with various homemade Finnish crafts. We were sad to leave when the weekend was over, but really enjoyed our time away!
