Seurasaari

It’s an open air museum/ park in Finland… I went with Marie yesterday, and when we got there the wind was so strong! And we were laughing over these “seagulls” (not sure what they are but I think should be similar to seagulls)… cos they are the type of birds that glide rather than flap their wings. This means that they rely partly on the wind… and it was so funny because we saw them struggling against the direction of the wind and then suddenly they will give up and “wooosh” get swept away in the direction of the wind! It’s such a funny sight.

Another interesting thing is the squirrels – they are quite used to people feeding them, so they will come to you if you squat down and hold out your hand, even if you have nothing in your hand! Haha… anyway the squirrels are soooooo cute. Haha.

Squirrel!



We were able to get so close that Yvonne could take this picture using my camera… that means without her Canon power zoom! Haha.



Other than these, the park is mainly trees (the speciality of Finland) and the sea and some wooden houses which are what the people stayed in/worked in long ago. Just a sweet simple park – sorta like the nature of Finland (minus the beer drinking) haha.
