hyvää syntymäpäivää

Today I'm. Sending best birthday wishes to my lovely Finish friends, Sussi, and Mr Google assures me that hyvää syntymäpäivää means happy birthday.

Sussi and I met on the Camino Francés back in 2010, making up part of the multinational Camino famous Five of our day.

She often messages me about the extreme temperatures in her homeland of Finland, and I've no idea how anyone can survive in such cold.

Sussi has been in Vilanova a couple of times and here's a few of our shared moments...

So my lovely friend Happy Birthday from Vilanova.
