We arrive to Ruovesi late. I think I ate 10 pounds worth of strawberries.
July 17
- picked blueberries and made blueberry pie (yummo)
- went out rowing with Sandra in the evening: we rowed to this little island called maggot´s island in the center of the lake and explored it (it was maybe 7 feet long, 3 feet wide). But let me assure you that this was no easy task as when we were nearing to the island, birds began to squack loudy and fly above us (I sappose that they were feeling that we were trespassing in their territory). Anyways, I am 100% sure that if we stayed just a minute longer, they would have dove in and ate us alive. Then we rowed around this fairly large island close to maggot´s island and then went on it cause there was an old cottage that we wanted to explore. Unfortunately it was locked and we couldn´t find the key(jk we werent planning to go in), so we decided to get off the island and row back.
- made a fire and grilled sausages and bread at night, I also had this delicious fish, common whitefish, that Esko caught in the lake and smoked. It tasted similar to salmon, and had the flakes like salmon, but they were thinner, and was white.
- finished reading the Kite Runner
- went to see Sandra´s cousin´s baseball game (quite different than American baseball, for one, the pitcher stands next to the home base and throws the ball up for the batter to hit it)
- ate ice cream (2x)
- made a fire again but this time grilled chicken and then for dessert crepes filled with whipped cream and strawberries
- went moose hunting (drove around in a car through the woods and fields) -> saw a baby moose
- watched Sherlock Holmes
- picked blueberries -> made blueberry muffins
- went out to eat at a little port
- watched the Pianist
