Today's lunch was, as always, delightful. I've yet to be disappointed by anything I've eaten in Finland. (You'll notice that this sandwich has a bite taken out of it -- that's because I forget I want to photograph some of my meals until I've already started eating.)

Dessert: Chocolate brownie cheesecake. And of course, more coffee.

I'm not too crazy about the kahvi, but I loooove that salmon. :) The rye bread's excellent too; I'll have to learn how to make my own. The Bullwinkle steak's not bad either (reindeer, moose, elk - whatever it's called there).
