It's a rainy day in Raahe. That's where I am today. Raahe is a quaint little seaside village about an hour's drive south of Oulu. I'm staying with Pieta, a friend who went hiking with Paivi, Marcos and me. We saw the Raahe museum today. It has the oldest diving suit in the world. It's made all of leather and quite huge.
The biggest frustration of being in a foreign country is not understanding the language. Most everyone speaks very good English, but most of the time they all speak Finnish and not understanding is driving me crazy!! But I'm picking up a bit of Finnish here and there and Marcos and Päivi are patient teachers. (teacher - opetaja).
