Scandinavian Mediterranean

After an afternoon with the Asikkala Rotarians living in Lahti, we ladies decided to enjoy the rest of the day and some of the evening in Lahti's Market Square. 
 
Hats Off To Rotary
In walking around, we happened to stumble upon a HAT STORE, where I could not help but pretend to be a high end fashion photographer and capture the essence of the the hair pieces with my models.
Lace Explosion



With these stylish hairbands, Dani reminds me of Leighton Meester (Blair Waldorf) in the TV teen series Gossip Girl.
Ping is ready to golf on Finnish greens; I think Dani is too blue to join her.
Strikingly Bluetiful Teresa 


Finnish Is All Greek To Me
 
After our modeling gig, we journeyed on a quest for Greek cuisine.  Hermes must have been guiding Teresa because we found 1 of only 2 Greek Ravintolat (restaurants in Finnish) in town.
 
Asklipios, not Patras 
 Desolate Delectableness
My Meal: Zorbaksen Lautanen (Plate)
Dani's Appetizer
Teresa's Greek Salad
Hunger Satisfied


Mamma Maria!
We traveled to another Mediterranean country for dessert.
Gelato!!!
Savory Strawberry Cheesecake Gelato :-)


Let's Drink To That
Traveling parts of the Mediterranean, in particular Italy, left all of us yearning for R & R and 3/4ths of us quenched for thirst.  According to Google Translator, teerenpeli means "flirtation" in Finnish, but accuracy of word translation is not guaranteed.
I was in a jalovina spirit and partook of that. 
Teresa beary much enjoys Karhu.
This blueberry liqueur was tart; thus the look on my face.
Double Fisting
