One of the things that I really liked about the blog that I read before I started my blog was how simple this person made their blog. I have not done that so far with my blog. Most of my posts have been long and detailed. This one won't be.
As I am riding on this (very comfortable) train through the Finnish country side I am really grateful for what I have. I am grateful for the opportunities that I have had. I just look out and see this snow covered wilderness/forest that looks so wonderful. I would try and take a picture but it won't turn out. It will be blurry and the feeling won't be there.
This morning we took a (rather uncomfortable) bus from St Petersburg to Helsinki. Our microbus was stopped at the Russian border forever because who knows what. But they brought a dog in and had the driver drive away for at least 40 minutes. Then we get to the Finnish border and some of the people on the bus were detained. Maybe they didn't have the proper visa paperwork. We didn't have any problems really. Then even with these delays we still had plenty of time to get to the train station to get on our train.
As I started writing we were passing this place in the forest that had some green houses and they looked perfect. Very much like those in the cartoon "Frosty the Snowman". But that passed very quickly. Now we are stopped in the town Seinajoki with a couple more hours on this train.
Life is good.
