Finland Day 6: Savonlinna Birdhouse Walk, Roasting Dinner

 Happy Father's Day!


We enjoyed being outside at the lake before going to breakfast at the main house. We enjoyed visiting with some of the other guests including a couple of men from Grenoble, France.


We headed into Savonlinna to do the birdhouse walk. Marko Ruuskanen has over 100 birdhouses in trees around Savonlinna. Some are quite fancy. Here are pictures of a few of them.
 A lot of the birdhouses look like this: wooden boxes with metal designs around them.

We roasted hot dogs for dinner.

We also made s'mores.

Me's finger got burned by a marshmallow. The marshmallow was sticky which made the burn worse since it stuck to her finger until she could pull it off.

We went to sauna. Me kept her finger in a bucket of cold water.

We went to 2 zoom churches: Luke's homecoming and Jonah S's farewell.
