We were greeted in Mariehamn, Åland Islands, by ladies dressed in traditional fashions and were served a snack. The Åland Islands are situated between Sweden and Finland at the entrance to the Gulf of Bothnia. Although its inhabitants speak Swedish as their first language, they are an autonomous, self-governed principality within the country of Finland.
