Few shots from Rapujuhlat
which translates to Crayfish party. Check the link to Wikipedia if you don't know what that means. Last week I went to Sotkamo/Kajaani for work but no stories from there. If I tell you I'd have to kill you ... or then there just isn't much to tell. Kajaani is a great summer town as all other small towns in Finland.
On the weekend our family was honoured to take part Hannu's & Heta's traditional crayfish party at their Veikkola summer house for the first time. This year half of the crayfishes served were caught by the true fishing pros of our group, Beni & Rami. Beni however hasn't caught a single fish this year.
The agenda for the party was fairly traditional - including decorating the place with red things, kicking football, fishing bit more, having sauna and a dip in a lake. Btw Iines had her first sauna and she loved it. Towards the end of the day people started enjoying beverages and the night climaxed with a lovely crayfish dinner complemented with Finnish white wine, delicious fish soup and apple pie for dessert. Noise level increased throughout the night so we can assume that everyone was having a blast ... at least I was, thank you all.
I'm updating this blog from the office so I let the pictures do rest of the talking even if shots weren't great and I really had trouble to find even these shots worth putting here.
Everybody's catching up
Weather treated us well
Dinner
Deep conversation
Takin it easy on Sunday
