Tuesday evening - or rather later that day, because the finnish days are so long in summer - we went for another nice swim in the small lake, and then decided to enjoy Ypäjä night life in the local bar. But first Viivi called her mexican friend Arian who is learning to be a smith working with horses (what the heck is the correct word for this profession?), and he promised to meet us and show us around the Ypäjä horses' centre. I didn't know this was the world's second biggest horses' school and breeding place!
So I learnt a lot on finnish horses the next hour (they are so nice, I like them!), and Arian showed us around the vast place. It really was interesting, even to me, who is not that keen on horses. Or any big animals, come to think of it.
Which is a pity, because Hämä is a very old farming area since centuries, and you can learn a lot on farming here.
Well, the local bar was closed, so we went back to the little farm, which once had been part of a huge mansion until bought by Viivi's ancestors. We sat on the old fashioned two-seater-swing, enjoyed chatting, finnish beer, and the sunset, and then went to bed - the sun still shining...
