This is a promotional card for Salo. The words on the front translate to: Feel the Experimental City. Salo is a small city of 51 000 people located between Helsinki (114 km) and Turku (52 km). Businesses have grown in Salo due to its location between these two main cities. Farming is also a major economic activity in the area.  Salo is also home to Salon Vilpas Vikings, who play in the Korisliga, the highest level of professional basketball in Finland. The Vikings won their first Korisliga title in 2021. The current roster includes 11 Finns, and 5 Americans.

A great World Postcard Day/World Postcard Day Meetup Card on 29 September 2023. Looks like 14-15 people came to the meetup. I love the hammock in the foreground of a lake. I love my hammock and I would love to nap in front of a quiet lake.
