A Trip to Hvittrask with Mika
Monday 07/30/2007 3:09 AM (In Finland: 10:09 AM)
On Saturday, Mika brought me to Hvittrask, famous architect Eliel Saarinen's home outside of Helsinki. The house is a museum now, but it was closed when we arrived. There was plenty to see from the outside, though:
Even the doors were impressive:
And the garden:
Here are half of the steps leading down to the water from the house. Unfortunately, they also lead back up to the house (this photo was taken during a break on our way back up):
And at the bottom is a sauna by the water:
And here is a photo of Mika relaxing on the dock:
Thanks again to Mika, Sari, and Brenda for so much hospitality and an excellent introduction to Finland ... I never would have found places like this without you!
