I promise, it's over. There are no more blog posts from the Baltic adventure after this. Our last stop was Germany. We explored the port of Warnemunde and also Lubeck. Looking over these photos now, it is hard to imagine they were all taken fairly close together geographically and all within the same day. The Baltic Sea sunbathers contrast to the gray morning skies and raincoats in Lubeck. I skipped most of the sights in this edit and went for what I liked best.

Finland was the following stop on the Baltic whirlwind tour. We hit Porvoo and Helsinki and all the sights in between over the course of one day.

I was lucky enough to get assigned to a travel story with the fantastic Spanish journalist Rosa M. Tristan. We spent two days in the cultural capital of Russia. It was both exciting and challenging to be on a strict touristic route and find interesting images to illustrate the city. We visited five other Baltic capitals which I look forward to sharing in the future.
