Last full day of our summer vacation is coming to an end. It's been wonderful to have the almost stereotypical Finnish domestic summer vacation.

The pictures are from my parents' place in Kerava, a rental summer cottage in Hauho, Parola Tank Museum, Häme Castle, Hämeenlinna Artillery Museum, Finnish Aviation Museum, Sääksi lake beach and from around urban Helsinki. The pics can also be viewed as a slide show.

The military theme with the museum visits is because of our son has reached the "weapons age" - things that don't go "bang" are just not very interesting at the moment :-).

Now it's time to fly back to India for the final quarter of the expat assignment. It seems one needs to spend time away to truly appreciate the things one has at home...
