Sweet, Sweet Sunday

by Satu Vänskä-Westgarth August 14, 2012

And Monday. And Tuesday. And… You get the picture. This post should probably have been renamed as “Ode to Norway”. Even though I have lived here full-time for two years now, and before that visited annually for ten, I am still amazed about the scenery and the accessibility of outdoors, […]

Life in Pictures: Day at the Beach in Venice

by Satu Vänskä-Westgarth August 2, 2012
