FINNDEPENDENCE

In honor of our wonderful Finnish co-worker Peppi, the entire PEPY crew summoned their inner-Finn this past Dec. 6, otherwise known as Finland's Day of Independence. Proudly sporting hand-crafted Finn Flag t-shirts and face-paint, we gathered on a rooftop for refreshments before descending on the town and painting it...well white and blue to be perfectly honest. Peppi was kind enough to teach us some essential Finnish phrases which we in turn taught to several moto drivers and the patrons of the Foreign Correspondence Club. Good times.
