Sculpture exhibition
We also went to a sculpture exhibition to a beautiful garden. We were walking in the garden, sitting under the apple trees and looking at the sculptures. Some of them were made by the art teacher of the daughters of this family.

Summer fun
People in Finland like rag rugs. They are common rugs especially in the summer houses and in the country houses. This family lives in a small town but the roots are on the country side. Rag rugs are pleasing to the eye and one summer fun is washing the rag rugs.
Today we drove to a washing place and washed the rugs. Now they look clean and smell fresh Real summer fun!
And in the after party we grilled (my host was too busy taking pictures...) and looked the flowers.

The third ugliest monument in the world
Five years ago some tourism experts voted this Onnenkenkä (= Lucky Horseshoe) monument the third ugliest monument in the world. The ugliest was Boston Town hall and the second ugliest was Montparnasse tower in Paris.
In my eyes it is not ugly at all...

Street art
This is a nice piece of pedestrian zone that is painted by children every summer. My host has been painting there many summers when the children were younger...

ToyVoyager meeting
We are quite many traveling toys in this town. A group of us put up a meeting today. How cool was that!
Two hosts, mmm105 and Reissari and their toyvoyagers, Phillip, Nayeli, DottieMouse, Nyankororin, Ronya, Kurnau, Traveling Teddy, Bisma and me first met in the center and we were hungry... As it happened that we were near Subway we went in and ate there.
After eating we gathered to a park to write some postcards. We were almost ready when it started to rain and we ran to a cafe. In that cafe we found a game but had no idea what we were supposed to do. Fortunatelly Traveling Teddy was familiar with this game called mölkky http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%B6lkky and he taught us and counted the points. I can tell you it was so fun to play with all the friends
