Baltic Blog - Helsinki
Wonder of wonders! With all the historical sightseeing, I found myself craving a diet coke. And since there seems to be a McDonalds every few blocks in Helsinki, I went into one to get my diet coke fix. As I tried to figure out what size I wanted and how many euros it would cost, my eyes drifted upwards and fixated on a DS9 clock! I did a double take! I tried to ask about it but the cashier didn't really speak english. At that moment, LJ turned the corner and started shouting.
We had stumbled into a McDonalds that had an interior decor dedicated to US Space Missions/Star Trek and 60's SF memorabilia! If only the owner had been around. It was too good to pass up the photo op, so I resigned myself to looking like an idiot and took a few pictures. I'll post those when I get home.
There were cool building and fun sightseeing in Helsinki. I even did some shopping. But I'll remember this port for the Star Trek McDonalds!

McDonalds... a truly insidious blight on the world--but hey, at least you can get a diet coke!
