Kotka with Samba rythms

I had the chance to visit my former home town Kotka (120 kilometers east of Helsinki) for one night and day. Today, the local centre of Kotka had a local Samba school perform and there was lots of interest to this music and dance. Last night we got snow and the nature is beautiful with white trees. Tomorrow I am on my way home to Dallas, Texas via London and Chicago. The weather in Dallas is nice, more than 80 Fahrenheit and the sun is shining.
