I had hard time choosing just one photo from tonight’s walk around the Île Saint-Louis, so here you have three. The sky was deep blue and streets very quiet, but temperature was quite cool. Summer, we are waiting for you! 
Paris goes to sleep now, but keep checking this blog, Pearlspotting (Facebook) and @Miia_Niskanen (Twitter)! Interesting new restaurant reviews and more stories about Finland to come… and of course more of India, too!!

We jumped right from winter in to summer here in west Michigan. It was 88 degrees F here today.

Let’s hope it happens here too! And preferably soon!
This spring has been very strange: in March I was sun bathing.. but since then there have only been occasional random days of maximum 27C (80F) and otherwise 10-15C! But one year ago it was the same.
How hot does it get where you live? Is it humid or dry? Do you live in an area with many native Finns? (I think Michigan is one of the states they immigrated to in the 19th century)

Michigan summers are typically hot and humid, particularly in August, when temps are often in the 90s F.
West Michigan, where I live, was mostly settled by Germans and Dutch. There’s a large settlement of Finnish people in the upper peninsula of Michigan. Of course, Eero Saarinen grew up in Michigan!

Of course he did! Today I have been writing about Finnish art (including design & architecture) so I should have remembered Saarinen’s connection with Michigan 🙂
