Lingonberries are very popular here, it is common for someone to pick them and eat it as a snack on their walk.

Funny story.. our first week in Finland we all go to Tampere. My friend and I go to this "Finnish" bakery because we thought it would be cool to try our first finnish dessert, so we get this piece of chocolate cake to share and the lady working at the bakery told us it is the only dessert not from Finland... it was from America.. But it still tasted good so its okay!

The strawberries may trick you into not looking good because they are so small but the strawberries in Finland are the best I have ever tried. I guess it is from all the sun in the summertime.

  1. Good report on your day at ZG. It was nice meeting you in “the dorms”. I was hoping to hear your recount of the day after the race, but you were already long gone by the time I fisidhen. Good Luck at WS100!
