Just read your comments on Brunberg oy. When we were in Poorvo we visited their shop in old town and I fell in love with their truffles and alku! Unfortunately we can't get them in the states. Thanks for helping me relive some pleasant memories.

Brilliant introduction about Porvoo. On my next Finland trip I will visit that historic place and I will leave my fancy shoes at home. In fact I am not sure if I have any fancy shoes ... :-)
