Ok, so I’ve had to blog offline for most of the trip so far, and having not had time to find WiFi access, I won’t be able to post those posts or pictures until I get that in order. Now that we’re finally settled in one place for a few days, though, I hope that will change.
But a few quick things to update to tide my adoring fans over (hahahahahaha):
- Finland is pretty awesome. The language is driving my linguist-brain nuts, because I keep trying to parse it and absolutely cannot (though I know the words for elevator and milk now… go me), but the country is nice. Beautiful trees, and the place we’re currently staying is full of lovely nature.
- Torsten is the best travelling companion ever. I am totally not kidding. More later.
- You don’t even notice jetlag when you’ve been experiencing Mommy-lag for months. You just pass out earlier than usual.
Wish I could say more, but I have to head out with Papa and baby for a day of exploration. More as soon as I get some access!
So, dear readers… what have YOU been up to?
Professional computer geek and linguist living in Germany, doing infosec stuff and being the freakiest mother ever.
From my quotes file, just for you:
“I always thought that Finnish was the sort of language people would come up with when they had 150 days of winter with 18 hour nights and no television.”

Glad you’re having an awesome time. When are you coming to visit me?
