Landed in Helsinki today. By late afternoon, there were many happy Fins getting ready for the big championship game against Sweden. As it turned out, late Sunday night Finland beat Sweden 6-1 and won gold in the IIHF World Championship.

This photo is of a particularly happy group who were working on a couple 12-packs of Heineken sitting on the steps of the Helsinki Cathedral. Not sure if they ever made it to a TV to watch the game or not.
