We have learned in a very, very short time some of our favorite little snakie thingies! They are the great licorice found here in Finland and MY all time favorite.......raw peanuts!! Both are exceptional here!! You haven't had licorice until you have had it here. Not at all like the kind we get at home. The Luthy's introduced us to their favorite kind and indeed, it has become our favorite!! And the raw peanuts.......such a pleasant surprise to find them here and I wasn't even looking for them. Expensive, like everything is here, but oh so good.
These are the 2 young people here from Russia with their parents attending the temple. They are NOT brother and sister. They attend the temple twice a day (once in the morning and once in the afternoon) to do baptisms. The young lady (Anastasia) is from just outside Moscow and Armon is from Kasakstan (sp?). They are both pointing to their 'homes'. You can see just how far they have traveled to get to the temple. A very, very long, long way!
And YES, that was a very steep hill we climbed up yesterday. We will walk to the market again this morning to get a few daily things. The stores close today at 3:00 p.m. and stay closed until, we think, Monday because of Juhanas Paiva celebration (the longest day). And it is raining!! Bummer. Oh well......
