Last, but not least, Helsinki Cathedral, previously Church of Nikolai and Great Church. The white pearl of Baltic Sea. Built 1830-1852, designed Carl Ludvig Engel. First drawings were made already 1818, but Engel fine tuned the design for more than decade before building work started. And he died before the church was ready. His apprentice finished the building. This tourist attraction has more than half million visitors yearly. And addition to that all official services are held there, like funerals of the past President of Finland, Mauno Koivisto, died in May, 2017.

Part of homeschooling the the offspring is teaching them how to live on their own. My 11yo knows how to go into a grocery store, pick out what he needs, and pay for it with our debit card. Of course we stay where we can keep on eye on him, cause the world sucks sometimes.
