Our visit toTurku

Sorry I've been gone for a few days.  We've been on the go a lot.  A few days back we went to Turku which is the oldest city in Finland.  It is on the Baltic sea. We saw a super old part of the city that didn't burn in a huge fire in the 1700s.  They had crafters there making stuff the old fashion way.  It kind of reminded me of Green Field Village.  Then we went downtown where they were having a medevil festival.  Many people had stuff to sell.  I tried to get mom and dad to buy me a bow and arrow so I could be like Katniss from the Hunger Games, but I was rejected.  All I got was a caramel apple.  Next we went through a church that was started in 1350 - boy is that old!  We then went to some famous restaurant that served a traditional Finnish lunch which was pea soup and pancakes that you put strawberry jam on.  It was all pretty good. Before going home, we went to the Baltic sea.
