Karhunkierros is the name of the hiking trail where we spent Saturday evening through Tuesday evening. It was wonderful. We hiked over bogs and past rushing rapids. We picked lingonberries and mixed them with the jam we put on our morning porridge. We drank the water right from the river. There are hikers huts all along the trail where we slept each night. There was firewood and a woodstove and benches to sleep on and outhouses, so it was quite nice and not nearly as cold as I'd expected. Tuesday night we went to Kuusamon Tropikki on the way home. It's a spa where we swam and hot tubbed and saunaed. And yes, in Finland you do sauna naked, but women and men sauna seperately. Wednesday we went to the Raunua zoo. I saw a polar bear and learned animal names in Finnish, then we went to the Arctic circle..the farthest north I've been and we drove to Sweden.
