Evening Fishing - Juha and Heidi took Rick and Kelsey fishing Sunday evening.  They said they would return around 9ish.  
I think it was quite fun.  Kelsey was rather animated about the experience and shared that one of the perch they had caught waved to them as they pulled it out of the water.  
I am so glad that Kelsey had this opportunity to Fish in a magical land called Finland .

we fixed them for dinner the next day.  Where the Perch was tasty - the Common Bream was really boney and not a wonderful eating experience.

After wandering about the parked cars in the Vehoniemi Automobile Museum we walked just a little way up the road to the stairs that led to the Tower.  From the tower you can look out on to the Vehoniemi Lake.  To me the view was spectacular.  

A 15 or 20 minute drive took us to the Vehoniemi Car Museum.  This was a free tour.   All of the cars are owned by individuals - and are driven from time to time.  My favorite was the Ford with the round windshield.  It even sported a umbrella basket!
After touring we stopped and had a little something in the coffee and cake inn - which I believe is how this little museum supports itself.  There they serve a little item called a spoon monk - which is like a doughnut.   The recipe dates from the 1920's, and is not shared with the public.  I guess if I want to create my own - I shall have to purchase several, and have them analyzed in the lab -- (ha ha ha!)

Twice a year Kangasala has a Fleamarket.  This year it was on Friday and Saturday July 12th and 13th.  Heidi, Julia, Kelsey, Rick and I went on Saturday.  It was pretty interesting.  Satu tells me that generally people here don't have garage or yard sales - or even estate sales -- 

It was great fun and I found some really fun items - which I get to bring home!

I thought this was cute -- and look there is a dutch door along with a Continental kit! 

Rick found a GeoCaching event -- Kelsey and I found this cute puppy, while Rick assisted in creating and also found a Cache.  Yay!  

It was really a lovely day -- saw more puppies and looked at statues in the park - further on there were some rather fun looking birds in cages -- here are but two of the ones we thought were the most fun

I thought this would be a grand place to visit.  Pretty much cause it was quaint looking and it also had a shop full of local artist offerings.  I was a bit disappointed when it said on a sign that a tour of the house was available upon reservation, but Satu mentioned that we were from the States and the caretakers were more than happy to show us around.  yay!

I really did not get a grasp of what our guide was sharing with us about some of the residents that had stayed there - but had a wonderful experience just looking at all the memorabilia and feeling the energy of the house.
