I went to a villa with Kata and Kata's family.
The trains were late.
Kata: "Do we make it in time?"
Me: *ei jaksa välittää*
[Kata's sister Marianne is the one with a yellow-tufted scarf]
In the train my motion sickness began.
Me: "I feel a little sick..."
We made it to the connection trains in time, as well as to the destination.
Kata: "I stressed for nothing."
Me: *ei jaksa vieläkään välittää*
Even the meds for the motion sickness kicked in.
We went to a forest.
Someone in the background: "Ew, deer flies!"
We did not find any mushrooms.
"Are those bear droppings?"
We found something completely different.
We also played Yahtzee.
"Mia won!"
Me: "Oh?"
We discussed aliens.
Kata: "Who's Jabba the Hutt?"
In the afternoon, I tried to take a nap.
Me thinking: "SO quiet!"
TRIED.
I saw some bird in Saimaa lake, maybe.
In the evening there was a chance to bath in sauna.
I also meant to dunk in the lake, but passed.
Me: "The weather is quite brr!" *shudder shudder*
I dreamed I was able to do incredibly awesome ink works.
Me: *just woken up*
Then I realized it was just a dream.
Me: *sighs*
Wednesday was full of nature expeditions.
Me: "That's Kummakivi!"
(Here's a
link to a Wikipedia article of Kummakivi.)
I also saw some rock paintings.
Me: *gasps in awe*
Me: "Those rock paintings were 4700 years old! Think!"
Me: "Think if some digi archaeologist is investigating the ruins of the Internet and finds comic blogs!"
In the evening, we played gin rummy.
Me thinking: "I should not have suggested point counting..."
Kata: "You have 500 000 points!"
I took a beating.
The next morning, I played some more gin rummy with Kata.
Me: "Noh!"
Kata: "You have 1000 000 points!"
I did 'great'.
For lunch we had vegetable soup and bread rolls.
The rest of the day I spent reading and petting the dog.
Because it was the day before leaving, I was eager to pack my things.
Me: "I don't want the family to wait for me."
On Friday we packed the rest of the stuff and cleaned up, then heading home.
I will say, that the meds for motion and travel sickness are a great invention!
