Heading Home

After 15-days, we are heading home. Our last stops were St. Petersburg then Stockholm.
It's been a wonderful trip with exquisite weather. Today, It's a relief to hear the rain. It's the sound of billions of drops, all equal, all equally committed to falling, like a sudden outbreak of democracy. 
Somethings we just take for granted. St. Petersburg was lovely, but the people didn't have the upbeat, relaxed nature of the Nordic countries.
