These are more pictures from the camp, the bottom picture is from the national park we visited, the second is from the final night in camp. That last night we stayed up late and hung out for as long as we could because even though everybody wanted to go home- we didn't really want to leave all our new friends.
This is the diary that we wrote during the camp: http://www.lions.fi/district107-e/NVleiri2010/diary.htm
After staying with my host family, I spent a week at a Lion's Club camp with other exchange students from all over the world. At the start of the week we all just wanted to go home, almost everybody there had already been in Finland, away from home, for weeks. By the end of the week, nobody wanted to leave.
These are more pictures from my last few days in Viliijakkala. Artuu and his friend on the beach, Ilona and the cat, and some pictures of the sauna.
These are pictures from my final few days with my host family before i went to the camp. We spent those days in the summer house.
These are draisine or handcars, you can rent them in Finland and ride them on abandoned railroad tracks. A big group of us took them, we rode for a few hours, stopped to have a picnic lunch and then rode back.
After going to the castle, we spent some time just wandering around Turku. These are pictures of some of the buildings.
...and even more pictures of the castle.
Pictures of the castle and armour and a tapestry that were in different exhibits.
We went to Turku, one of the oldest cities in Finland to visit a castle. It was totally awesome.
