Just to give a quick update on what has happened the past couple of days, and over the weekend. On Friday I spent a wonderful afternoon and evening at my Kummi family. We chatted for hours while looking at photos. We also went to the son's "elders ball" where everyone was dressed elegantly in beautiful ball gowns and tuxedos.
Then on Saturday we went into Oulu market place for the ski-jump competition. They had built a snow ramp in the market place of Oulu town especially for the competition which took place from 18:00-19:00.Sunday 8 of us drove to Kemi to visit the ice-castle. Four of us travelled in Daniel's car and the other four in Patrick's car. It took about 1,5hrs to get to Kemi. The ice-castle was not exactly what we expected (a bit dissapointing) but it was nice to see anyway. There were some impressive ice-sculptures inside castle. The interior temperature was an ice -8 degrees so by the end of our exploration through the castle we retired to a souvenir and coffee shop for some "luke warm" coffee and hot chocolate.

After exploring the ice-castle we drove about 6km to see the ice-breaker, unfortunately we were too late as the ice-breaker was not there anymore when arrived...
On our way back to Oulu we stopped over in town for some coffee and pulla in our second favourite coffee restuarant "cafe bisketti". We have all become very fond of Pulla and try and taste all the different pullas whenever we go out for coffee.
