What a wonderful week with the OULU DISTRICT here. It was Easter Holiday and schools were closed.....they were GREAT!!

And they are OFF headed back to OULU....a very, very long 9-hour bus ride back to the North Country!

AFTER WE FINISHED WORKING IN THE TEMPLE, it was off to

NUUKSIO NATIONAL FOREST

for a little cookout provided by the Peciulius!

They had been trying for some time to 'find' a right time to go there. The weather was P.E.R.F.E.C.T today......off we went!

The perfect SPOT was found on top of some beautiful rocks. After all....we are in Finland....the land of ROCKS!

Sese Zina is the master of cooking shish kababs......she wants to open ZINA'S RAVINTOLA some day...... in the forrest!

Just a cookin away......

That was some GOOD EATIN!!!

Met lots of fun folks up there too....these two guys are from Madrid Spain.....roaming around Finland.

I don't know......just getting some kind of 'energy' from this tree!! :-)

Stopped to fill up the GAS TANK at the favorite SHELL STATION close to the asuntola on the way home. Wayne (the Car Czar) was teaching Veli Fuller (the NEW car czar) all the tricks to the 'trade'! AAAAHHHHHH......nice to turn that over.

And one quick little FOTO with the pretty purple crocus flowers before going inside for the night...

WHAT A GREAT DAY THIS HAS BEEN.....and our LAST SATURDAY IN FINAND!!! Trying NOT to think about that but it is getting harder and harder!
