Gymnaestrada - Centre




It was Tuesday afternoon, July 14th 2015, and my wife and I walked a couple of miles to the Messukeskus Helsinki Exhibition and Convention Centre.  We arrived at our hotel mid-afternoon, after a long journey from Chicago, and tried to catch our daughter and the troupe at the Centre.  But they had already left.
