Our neighborhood

Here are a few pictures of our new neighborhood. The container port is just a few blocks over and so we can watch the machinery at work. It's interesting and not at all annoying. It will all be moving to the other side of Helskini within two years and this area will get more built up then. And we learned we are across the canal from the energy company's coal bins, when we were surprised the other morning by a big coal ship that arrived in the night. They spend the day unloading with their onboard shovels and it's somewhat mesmerizing to watch. Saturday morning it was about 54F and cloudy, and I looked out to see a water skier. More posts soon after we both return from quick visits back to the US - Gerald for a conference and me to celebrate my mother's 84th birthday!
