The Bothnian gulf. Ok I see now. What is your countries largest tourist attraction, and it may not be known for tourism, I of course don't know.

Baltic sea is cross water sea so there´s less salt in the water than in Atlantic.

Beeing an old Navy man you should know the Skagerrak. Area in the sea north from Denmark. There was a big battle in WWI. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Old military man correct, but I was in the Air Force. Most places look the same from 30 thousand feet! (I was not a flyer though).

Lappland in general. Northern lights, home of Santa Claus (you are wrong about the North pole - it´s just a pole...), Moomin world in Naantali (small town) lots of Japanies tourists, Helsinki in general + museums (national / modern)...

Just looked it up, Moomin World, Our Grand Daughter would like that place!

I know you weren´t in Navy... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I know there are mountains in Sweden, but are there many in Lappland and Finland(what I read said your country is mostly lowlands, under 200 meters high.

Ok, I thought you might have confused me with someone else like JJ or Tom (private klink). Even though they are marines, the Marine Corps belongs to the Navy. But as JJ jokingly says the Marine Corps is the MENS department of the Navy!

I was talking to Patty the other day about something and she asked my why I was asking about that. I told her we were discussing it on this site. She was surprised and indicated she thought that all we talked about were knives!

I just laughed and told her we are planning on taking over the world to make it a better, a more moral and law abiding place, where parents do not fear for their children to "wander" around by themselves the way we did when I was a kid. She just said "Yeah right"!

I´d say there are fells in Finland. The highest called Halti is about 1300 meters above sea level.

My wife thinks also that I´m just talkin about knives with other people who lost the same marbles than I did. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Now, Randy I know military, mc, navy, air-force well enough, so every time I tell you that you are a Navy guy, it´s same as you would call me Lars. Deal? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Deal! Consider that we just shook hands on it! Man this language barrier can be a pain in the Butt at times!

I would hate to see how a language translator would deal with words and phrases If I had to rely on one. You and all the "Non English" speakers amaze me, that you get so much correct! We, "Americans", English speakers sometimes take so much for granted and at times at least appear arrogant, something here that I don't think anyone here portrays.
