What an experience, Lola! Great story. And I thought you were “just” another GIS Analyst!

Such a contrast of doing something so absolutely reckless while keeping so cool about it– great little snapshot of Lappland. I had no idea.

I don’t know how exciting racing on ice really seems with winter finally making it to Washington DC… But this kind of reminds me of the Ice Road Truckers show on the History Channel.

This is the way Finnish people are. No words when there is nothin necessary to say. The people in Finland are very interesting, especially when they start getting drunk. Pour some wodka into a Finn and they’ll be telling you their darkest secrets.
Wish I could be in Lappland right now (was there about 3 months ago, hitchhiking from Nordkapp).
Nice writing!
