In a little village near Jakobstad is Esse. I think i wouldn’t have gone there if it wasn’t because of a co – worker .. who wanted to visit an ex-girlfriend.. who had relocated there. North of the capital Helsinki was where Esse is, so we not only stayed at Esse but also at Umea but that’s for another story and another day.
I hear that winter here is really wicked..!! and there are lots of farmland here. and thousands of lakes around Esse. With the winter so cold .. i seriously wonder how the bugs survived..! they were aplenty.. when we were there.. trust me. But Finland is beautiful.. and the people albeit quite shy .. are pretty merry people during their festivals and they do have great museums .. many shops .. open markets.. and theatre.
This is one of the many churches you see in Esse. Very pretty eh.
