The Crater Lake Ice Carousel
It was a chilly morning in Finland. The creation of the world’s largest ice carousel was about to start and there was so much work to do. The team had been preparing for months and today was the day. Lake Lappajärvi was the perfect location being that it is Europe’s largest Crater Lake. It is about 14 miles wide and was created almost a million years ago by a meteorite impact. With the winter weather in Finland chilling the water to sub-degree temperatures, the thickness of the ice for people to work on was imperative.

Strong Emotions in Vietnam (Travel from Home #14)
Once again, a book dictated the country I chose to fake travel to. In August, I traveled from home to Vietnam in August 2021. I had another tough time acquiring the food. While I could probably have gone to H Mart, I don't trust my ability to cook tofu and make it taste decent. I selected a nearby Vietnamese restaurant that had some great choices I could eat and set aside some time to go only to find it had closed. So I sat in the parking lot with my phone, searching for another restaurant. The next closest had almost no vegetarian choices, but I finally located one about twenty minutes away that had lots of vegetarian options as well as desserts.
