Looks like Kathy and Nick will be going to Moscow soon after all! Val isn’t planning on visiting them but who knows… We have the tree up in our living room, dripping snow as A and V work on their homework. Went to church and saw Amahl and the N.V. with Edna today – very well done (Len Foli was in the orchestra!). See you next week.
Love, Tim

I made it to Vaasa and it’s beautiful. We are right on the sea which is nice although I miss the mountains a bit! There are 2 other American women here – we work together and have also become good friends which has been wonderful. Lots of salmon, saunas and biking – doing the Finnish thing! To Sweden next week on the ferry for an overnight. I tried to call you but screwed up. What are your Christmas plans? Keep in touch – hope all is well.
Love, Liz
These are from the 1990’s. I was there several times.

Hi
We have been having a great time here with Liz. They still have lots of snow but it has been beautiful weather. Went to see Braveheart tonight – it was great!

Here is a photo I took of the neighborhood where we stayed.
And a few others around town.

This is the Lutheran Cathedral in Helsinki. It is very stark inside – all white. The prettiest thing about it is the organ. The statue is of Alexander 2 of Russia.
Liz was just here for a couple of days so we had a good time sitting in cafes and wandering around.
Love
