The late Anthony Bourdain wrote, “The journey is part of the experience - an expression of the seriousness of one's intent. One doesn't take the A train to Mecca.” We are listening to his advice and will not take the train from our last stop in Finland. Instead,  we are hopping back in our fully efficient Monte Carlo, and having a great drive through some really interesting countries.
