Runeberg Day!

Today is Runeberg Day and on this special day, Runeberg Tarts can be bought from all coffee shops and bakeries In Finland. So just before our first class Petra, Wolfi and I enjoy some coffee and a Runeberg Tart.
Munch munch...!! (Runeberg's Tart is a Finnish pastry seasoned with almonds and rum and raspberry jam is usually in a sugar ring on the tart)
Note: Johan Ludvig Runeberg was a Finland/Swedish poet, and celebrates his birthday on the 5th Febraury (today). He is held to be the National poet of Finland. Many of his poems deal with life in rural Finland.
