can you tell how cold we are?

The sunrise:

We fell asleep fairly early in the night. You know, one of those, I'll just take a little nap and wake up in an hour type sleeps. Of course we woke up around 3 in the morning, but hey what are ya gonna do? I will say that it was prime time to catch the sunrise. So we bundled up and headed out on deck. Obviously, these are pictures of the experience.

The boat trip was highly uneventful, but there was a great view. So I'll focus on its better points and ignor the hoards of old and unattractive people on board.

So like I was saying. . .

Sweden is virtually built on this system of tiny islands, known as the archipelago. People actually live on these little islands. Rich people I assume, seeing as there is no way to get to and from your residence unless you have a high powered boat (or floating device).

I took some pictures of the archipelago so that you could get a better sense of what it looks like.

The boat was supposed to dock in Finland. I was under the impression that we would actually set foot on dry Finish land. However, this was not the case. Yes, we crossed into Finish waters, but yes they look just the same as Swedish waters. So I refuse to say that I actually went to Finland. Instead I'll just say we waded in Finish territory so that Swedish people could wave the alcohol tax and get wasted. I can't lie, I didn't actually see this drunken debauchery, because I was alseep, but I have a strange feeling that it went on anyway.
