Friday

     Friday was our final day in Finland, and arguably the best. The day started with a final presentation at the Heureka science center, a culmination of our experiences in Finland. We were offered the opportunity to experience the activities in the center for one final time before our trip to Hvittrask, the Saarien family manor.
     Hvittrask is an architectural wonder, and a masterful presentation of both Finnish , and American architectural styles. The housing complex was once home to several famous Finnish architects, and the styles, art, and decor was represenative of of this unique circumstance.
     After our private tour we hiked to a beautiful bluff overlooking a lake, and some famous Finnish petroglyphs. Following the ordeal the group was rewarded by a traditional Finnish sauna by the lake. The next few hours progressed in a haze of relaxation, and pleasure as we enjoyed the Sauna, and a private dinner.
