... Originally, that day was invented for other reasons - but then it was re-invented
(or re-defined) to remind of the fact that most finnisch people are Protestants.
But that is somehow not the most important thing about juhanus any more I was
once again lucky - and celebrated juhanus just as it should be celebrated (thank!
you! so! much!):
The car packed with all kinds of solid and liquid supplies as well as the cat,
the cat's washroom and some mini-discothek we took of, just like almost everybody
else, heading direction north - to the woods - to a rather small hut (with sauna)
- to a lake.
Here we spent three wonderful days doing nothing - and not doing anything else.
In _t_h_e_ night we first visited some neighbours / friends / relatives in their
hut (at the lake - with sauna (at the lake!)) - and had to accomblish, that we
were a little late: the fire was already bunrt - a little bit. But there were
still some drinks to drink (Cideri [Cider] ja Olut [Beer]) and some things to
eat (Makara (Saucage (and not these small ones))) and the master of ceremony walked
through the fire - for us.
Now we took the rowing-boat and started our lake-trip - to visit a different fire
at a different location. Somewhere on that lake, behind some islands and some
... land-tounges?!¿ ... we found the expected fireplace - in the lake (on
the lake?!¿) on a (very!) small island. All around it there were Old and
Young in boats of the most different kinds. Loughing, yelling and singing - and
drinking drinks.
The very next day we had to travel back to Helsinki / Vallila - all along the
Elchs' whatch-fences ... and were probably seen by (at least) four elchs.
PS: Soon I'll post some tips and tricks on how to avoid mosquito bites... If you
know of any nice ones the please let
me know. Thank you!
