Whashodeal!

We have traveled so much in the past few days we can barely stand it! Between a bus ride across Sweden, a ferry ride across the Baltic Sea, and another bus ride literally ALL the way across Finland, we are thoroughly exhausted. We find ourselves a short ten kilometers from the Russian border. With that knowledge, we got a strict warning about international laws. It is an international crime to cross the border, even just one step! We will get the chance to at least see it tomorrow, though.

Other than that, Finland has been a little slow. I don't know if it is the time change (we lost an hour crossing the Baltic), or the ...interesting... material we went over in class today, but we are just sleepy! Class today lasted a whopping 12 hours and we drove all over the place. I don't think we visited one site that didn't just kill our appetites. The bio energy plant this morning was especially stinky; a hole filled with crap was something we looked at and discussed. Nevertheless, we have been learning a lot and are getting started on our group projects (sort of...).

Final thoughts: Russian men await...we will update asap!
