Isabelle started school Monday the 11th and Fiona's first day at the English Speaking Playschool was yesterday. I have to say that we were all ready for them to get started. The girls were long past due for some playtime with new friends and it gave me a chance to go for a swim and sauna in peace.
All Finnish schools provide free lunches for the students. Fiona came home raving about her "fish soup and sandwiches with cucumbers". "Mom, you can buy the fish soup at the store", she exclaimed! Ummm...yum? Actually, it is so great that they are trying and enjoying all of these new foods and I found out today that the "fish soup" is actually salmon soup and is supposed to be quite good. Fiona's school is located in an old army barrack that is a historical building, so it can't be renovated. It is very quaint.

Hi Sharon,
The schools look great. Looks like everyone is settling in well. Hope all is well. Oulu looks like a beautiful town.
Take care, Kim
