Happy Birthday, Chris!


We started our day with a guided bus tour of Helsinki. We saw many sights that Chris and I had already found but added some that we hadn't visited yet. It was helpful to receive the tour guide's insights into all of the locations. We were able to get off the bus and explore a few sights too.

Inside the Helsinki Cathedral. This is the large cathedral in Senate Square. It is an Evangelical Lutheran cathedral, the official religion of Finland.

At the Sibelius Monument. This monument was erected in 1967 in honor of Finnish composer Jean Sibelius.


These pictures are inside the 

Temppeliaukio Rock Church.

This church was carved directly into the rock and is located in the heart of Helsinki. You can even see the water that runs from the walls in places. The ceiling is copper. The acoustics make it a popular place for concerts. While we were there, a man was playing piano. 


Later, we visited BrewDog at Chris's birthday request. He has watched the television program and found out that they had a location that was close to our hotel. 

Notice the moose on the wall.
