Just a quick update to announce that we made it to our hotel in Lahti around 4pm local time. All our travel was on schedule, and without any major mishaps. We arrived at the hotel just before dark, and the temperature was already down to -21* C. Our hotel is within 5-10 minutes walk of the city center, and only a few KM from the ski trails. Tomorrow morning we will await the sunrise, and then check out the venue and do a classic ski.br /br /I’ve got to say, we must have some future NASA scientists in this group, because we managed to defy physics with our ability to fit 15 people, 14 ski bags, 15 duffels, and countless backpacks, into 2 Ford 9-passenger vans. It was a miracle to accomplish, without putting any gear on the roof!br /br /Over and out from Finland, //Timdiv class=”blogger-post-footer”img width=’1′ height=’1′ src=’https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8099746996508773021-404776880204360488?l=usaj1team.blogspot.com’ alt=” //div
