This picture will show you that I am not in Maynooth…
In fact I am in Helsinki. Here is a better picture of the splendid Cathedral behind me in the selfie.
The Cathedral is Lutheran by the way. I’m not sure Luther was into cathedrals, but there you go..
It’s about a three hour direct flight from Dublin to Helsinki via Finnair (and a two hour time difference) but all went according to plan. I also found my accommodation without difficulty: it seems comfortable enough.
I took a long walk around this afternoon because the weather is lovely and I wanted to stretch my legs after the flight. It’s a very pleasant city for a stroll, with lots of public spaces and plenty of places to stop for a coffee or something stronger.
All that done, it’s time for dinner!
The reason for being here, by the way, is the annual Euclid Consortium meeting but enough of that tomorrow..
