Scandinavian Frogs - Finland
I took a trip to Scandinavia with my husband Chuck and found
some wonderful frogs! Here are some of the frogs I found in
Finland. You may click on the thumbnail to see a larger version.
The first frog I saw in Finland
was one that belongs to Ian and is one of Ian's favorite things.
This is a picture of Ian's father Hasse showing me the frog. I'll
tell you how I happened to see Ian's frog. Chuck had been
e-mailing to someone in Finland about genealogy and mentioned
that we were going to be visiting Finland this summer. Then he
received an e-mail from that woman's daughter Ingela, who offered
to help us get from the train station in Vassa to the rental car.
She also invited us to her home for a visit. Imagine our delight
when we got off the train, and there were Ingela and her husband
Hasse to greet us! After getting our car we followed them to
their home, where we met their two delightful sons Ian and Lars
and had a wonderful dinner!
Here is a picture of Chuck and his
relative Jari by a museum in Tampere.
This is a frog on an informational brochure we
found while we toured Tampere with Chuck's distant relative Jari.
Here is a delightful
picture of Donald Duck changed into a frog. I stumbled onto it
while we were at the Market Place in Tampere. I was looking
through a pile of old comic books and found this story in a 1991
comic.
Here is the comic that
has the story of Donald Duck as a frog. To see the entire story,
