We checked out of the FinnHostel only to discover that our Metla friends had picked up the tab. Everyone at Metla has been an extremely gracious host. Leena and Mizue drove us to the train station and we were soon off on the nearly 5 hour trip to Helsinki. Well, actually, the Tikkurila stop in Vantaa, north of Helsinki. The Helsinki international airport is just a couple of kilometers away. We walked the 1.5 kilometers to the Metla complex. We are staying in the guest quarters, which are on the third floor of the library (the grayish building in the center). For dinner tonight we strolled back near the train station and found a Thai restaurant. It was good to get some food that had a kick to it. It's been a breezy, rainy day, so we are hanging low tonight, reading tour books and brochures, in preparation for our assault on Helsinki tomorrow.
