This week has been cold and I had hoped that this afternoon would be a bit warmer but it remained chilly. It is strange weather because it is sunny for most of the day. Coming from the dry desert of New Mexico the wet wind here seems to cut right through my clothes.
I rode my bicycle into Vaasa for the first time today. it is about 14-15 km into town. There is a grocery store here in the village of Solf, but the prices and selection are a bit better there. Since I cannot read Swedish or Finnish shopping is an adventure. Yesterday I thought I bought butter only to discover cream cheese when I returned home. Today I looked up butter in Swedish before I went shopping.
