Lapland!

Thankfully, the website where I needed to book my Lapland trip created an option to use major credit cards. I am officially visiting November 21st through the 27th. Yay!

For those of you who are questioning what Lapland is, I'll explain it! It's the Arctic Circle of Finland! On my trip to Lapland I'll be staying in a log cabin with a sauna, of coarse. You can't go anywhere in Finland without a sauna being nearby. :) I signed up for a bus trip to the Arctic Ocean. There is a small strip of land which is Norway, but it is just above Finland on the coast of the Arctic Ocean. How tropical, right? But I'll be taking a bus to the Arctic Ocean! How many people have done that? So stoked. I also chose to do a husky sled ride, another thing I am excited for! Things included in the trip are: a tour to Santa Clause village (he technically lives in Finland), reindeer farm (!!), reindeer sleigh ride, and possibly seeing the northern lights. It's going to be a very traditional Finland adventure. Thank goodness my wonderful mother is mailing me snowpants. How could I come to Finland and forget snowpants?

It's getting cold in Finland, winter is on its way! I went on a run today, I wore running tights, a long sleeve, a jacket and a scarf! The scarf might have been much, but I wasn't sure! The leaves have all fallen off the trees; no more colorful Finland. Time for snow!

Winter is coming!
