Satu took us into the town of Kangasala so that we could purchase a sim card for our phones. did purchase one that would fit into Kelsey's phone, but because Rick and I both have an Iphone 5 - that takes a nano chip which cannot be purchased as a sim card. We should have arraigned to have service with AT&T before we left - international service. But it is all good - I have Satu to take us places, and do not intend to wander without her since no one here really has a handle on the language. So it is best to not go anywhere without a guide I would think.
We visited a small museum that showed many things of the countryside and a bit of the culture. It was a wonderful guide there who shared with us the best she could - and Satu interpreted as well. The museum was a building that had been used as a grain storage in the past - I would venture to say a couple of hundred of years before. later it was transformed to be a museum.
Rick wanted to collect a cach while we were in Kangasala - so we did - and part of that Cach was a Bloodstone. Which was mounted upon the Church of Kangasala -- of course since there was also a tour of the Church we explored. What I find very interesting, being Wiccan - is that all the symbols that are in the church also pertain to me as well. Religions really are not all that different. Christianity, Pagan, Mormon Buddhist Muslim Wicca etc. - we all seem to acknowledge the same entity - we all pretty much call this entity God. Many of the symbols in the church are the same that we use and hold sacred. Someday - I hope that everyone will be on the same page, and agree that God and spiritually comes from within, and we are the change that needs to come about to make our world a better place.

the blood stone on the church - it was said that an innocent was beheaded for being a witch - as they were about to strike her she said that the stone would always bleed because she was innocent.
