Hey Emily! It looks like you are still having a blast! I hope Finland is treating you well! I am so jealous of your adventures there and wish to be back! :) I love reading your blogs!!! ---Amanda Penning
Whoa Emily that is so awesome! I wish I was there to experience this with you. I'm sad that plans for the summer fell through. I guess you'll just have to go back to Europe w/ me someday and we will explore together. Have fun and I miss you TONS!! Love ya, Katrina
Thanks............ Thanks for bringing us along on your adventures! I really enjoy your outlook and recap of your experiences. Keep on enjoying and thanks again for sharing with those of us at home.
yeah&no Cool stuff Emily! Well, I know, I was there:) Hello to all of you in the US too:) I just wanted to say that everything Emily wrote was pretty much true except for the fact that I said that it's a Finnish tradition to jump into the snow 3 times - I only told them to do it 3 times so that I could get a good photo :D, I didn't say anything about any tradition:)
Oh, and there were 189 steps:)
Viva Narnia! Viva Laponia! Viva Finlandia! God bless America!
Emil
Narnia and other Adventures I really enjoyed this trip with you Emily and your pictures tell more of your story. Next winter if you ever want to go CROSS COUNTRY SKIING I will go with you or you can borrow my skiis and boots. We also have SNOW SHOES. All the fun you shared made me feel like going out and playing in the SNOW!! BUT all our SNOW is gone-so I do have to wait until next year. You will have so many wonderful memories and your blogs and pictures will let you re-tell your stories for years.
Love you mean it, Auntie Claudette

EMILY Emily, Just finished reading your blog of 1-22-07. You are an adventurous gal!! Do you have a map to help you use the transportation system? You are BRAVE To go and do SO many activities on your own! Thanks for the photos, they are clear and add to your narrative! LYMI, Aunt Fran
Hi! Hi Emily! I´m an exchange student who came to MSU from Finland for this spring. It´s fun to read about your experiences in Finland, now that I´m here in your school :)
I love the weather here, sun is just shining all day long. It is so dark in Finland during the winter.
Have a nice spring and I hope you enjoy yourself there!

Your trip- you're a trip! Great journaling, Emily. Your narration created a wonderful vision for me of your first few days there. I could picture you sitting in the ferry station trying to shake a chill while waiting for the church to open.
I look forward to your next entry. In the mean time, I will pray for you and continue to ask Michael the Arc Angel to watch your back!
God bless you sweetie!
A Great Adventure I know you're going to learn a lot from books over there, but it seems like you're already learning so much about life in just a few days! You're doing great, Emily, and adding the sunshine that's so lacking in nature. God bless you, and keep the updates coming! Love, Aunt Jane
Emily Emily, WOW!! It is exciting to read of your adventures! You will not find ANY of your experiences in a text book!! So live each day to the fullest!! Love, Aunt Fran
