Less than a week

I have less than a week before I land in Turku. Getting ready for this has involved a lot of running around, buying silly things like a year's worth of moisturizer and sriracha.

There's a strange stew of emotions when I think about boarding that plane on Sunday. Excitement is definitely an ingredient, but so is trepidation. Even though I'm as prepared as I probably can be, I know that things will still come as a shock once I'm over there.

To get me (and you!) excited about swapping the Willamette for the Aurajoki, here's a picture of Turku.
