Day 8 and off to a Museum

We got a late start and picked up lunch before we got to the  Ateneum Museum.  For lunch I had a ham and cheese salad and we both had a rare item on this trip so far a fresh salad! The museum had a wide variety of art, lot of portraits and heavy representation of Finnish artists. It also provided a history lesson of the Finnish culture. The museum was in a very nice old Building from 1880's and we really enjoyed our stroll through it. We left via the side entrance and there was a chocolatier right there, so we got some chocolate.
Right outside our door was a leftover pride champagne bottle

The skill that it takes to carve is impressive. The skill it takes to carve a moustache and have it still there after you're done most impressive

A grand building

Here we are!

Say no more

It's a magic trick
