We took a nice bus ride from Turku to Helsinki and checked into our new Hotel. (Hotel Arthur) We ate lunch at the hotel and then took a 2 hour bus tour of Helsinki. During the bus tour we stopped at a church called "The Rock Church". It was originally built as a bomb shelter for World War 2 but in the late 60's was turned into a church. (Made of rocks!) After our tour Team White took the night off, as they did not have a game, and experienced downtown Helsinki. However, Team Red got prepared to be transported to Espoo where they played the local team. It was a tough fought battle but unfortunately they came up a few goals short. Brittany Loh and Sandra Martin were the goal scorers for the team, however, everyone should be commended on their excellent play and sportsmanship. Also, Sandra Martin was voted Player of the Game and received a new Exel Stick from the host team. The night was capped off with a nice relaxing stroll around downtown Helsinki. </div> <bR> <div> Kristina v.E & Allison </div> <bR> <div> PS - photo is the group at the Sibelius Monument that we visited after leaving the Rock Church</div> <bR> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 434 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="0e83aac0.jpg" border=0 width="570" height="428" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 38 WIDTH="502"><div> Zamboni outside the arena in Espoo -- guess where the snow is dumped?</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 434 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="10e3aac0.jpg" border=0 width="570" height="428" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
