News from the Arctic Circle

  Hi.

  YES, I acrossed the Arctic Circle.
  Last Wednesday I went to north. I took the train (like the smalest train ever), until Seinäjoki and after I changed the train to Oulu. 7 hours to see a friend that lives in Raahe. It was very nice to see her again.

It's the first time that I saw a train with only two wagons.

  She pick up us to take a little walk around Oulu, but the weather it was so bad and the ice on the floor melting that we decide to go "home". Raahe it's about one hour from Oulu. She lives in a farm, it's very nice place, with a lots of space and animals (only cats she have seven). At night we played Fishball.

  At morning of the next day we wake up very early to take the train to Rovaniemi. I slept almost all the trip, so I don't remember so much, but when we arrive in our destiny everything was white. Rovaniemi it's not a very interesting city. Everything goes around the tourism: Santa Claus, Northern Lights, Arctic Circle, Reindeers.
  There I visited the ARKTIKUM, the museum about the Arctic. That actually was very interesting, but very expensive (8€)

  After eating the lunch we went to the shopping center (me following the girls) and after that we went to the house of the real Santa Claus. There you also can across the Arctic Circle.
 Welcome home little kids!

 Also Conan O'Brian had visited Santa Claus. 

If you see this that means that you  are in the Arctic Circle.

  The photos are the worst part, almost you don't have the choice "Sorry I don't want". A woman comes, and starts to speak, and speak, and speak, and never stop, and show all the prices and the photos and the video that I didn't knew.
  After walking around in some souvenirs shop we went to some ski place to see the views of Rovaniemi.

  After we went home.

  On the next day we wake up quite late. We went to Raahe and we lunch at Subway. After we saw some second hand shops where I bought some socks for three euros (and usually costs 15€).

Keskusta

This is the street with a lots of second hand shops.

  After we came home by bus. In all the journey I was more than 20 hours between trains, buses and cars.
  On Saturday I went to sauna, next to the lake. I enter there and I swore for never more, I never was in such cold water, but the people of the house were extremely nice.
  Yesterday I made ice skating. 

  Now I can see that i made already all the three things of the title of the blog.
