Finnish Party

It's done! The defense was fine. We are now off to a party at a nice restaurant, to celebrate the candidate's successful completion of the Ph.D. To celebrate, we went out and spent money. How else would an American celebrate? It's a black-tie/black coat/black dress affair. Fortunately, Heidi brought a black dress, so she'll be the one of us that is properly dressed for it. I have gray and brown, which, although it fits my personality, will have to do for tonight. Tomorrow, we walk all over the city and get to visit the sights that Heidi has not yet seen and that are the most important.

I got some photos from our hostess in Joensuu. These are worth posting to this post, but I am not having much luck putting them up. These are of Koli National Park, one of Finland's most scenic places.
