we spent last weekend at
Jacopo's grandparents' place in Oulu: we enjoyed
Kyllikki's delicious home made pastries and
perunapiirakat while chatting away in finnish - which was good for my practice. one morning we drove to
Koitelinkoski: a forestal area with a tumultuous river.

snow hasn't come to northern Finland either - yet we got to experience
a magnificent frosty landscape: I couldn't restrain myself from taking photographs.
P.S. I will soon post more photos of the trip in Koitelinkoski part 2!
