Today was mother's day. I therefore spent some time with my parents today, since they are anyways in Finland, as mentioned before.
Today we went to Porvoo, about 40km from Helsinki. The small town has a very nice old town, which is basically like an open-air museum and has beautiful old wooden houses with small cafes and tiny shops. Even tho the weather wasn't that nice, it was mostly cloudy but dry, we had a good time.
We walked around the small streets and along the river over to the old train station, since my dad love trains and everything that is related to it. He found a man, working on one steam train and talked to him a long time. My mum and me were walking around instead.
Then we went up a hill facing the old town and had a beautiful view onto the colorful houses and the river. After a while we went back to the town and had a coffee and some cake in a cute cafe, which was more like a living room than a cafe. It was really cozy and we sat a long time talking.
It is really nice sometimes to talk to your parents again. I really missed them somehow. It is weird, often you just annoyed and just want to get out, but when you haven't been talking to them for a long time it's nice to be together again.... at least for a little while ;-)
