Hello!
And happy Tuesday to everyone. Not much new in Kuopio, just trying to enjoy summer as much as we can. Too bad the weather hasn't been co-operating. We only get glimpses of sunshine every now and then. I have actually worn a hat and gloves in the mornings when biking to work. That is nuts!
Last weekend we went to see our friends in Joensuu, so I have some pictures from there. There would have been a music festival Ilosaari rock going on in Joensuu but we opted to go see other sights like a church and a crafts stores. How wild of us (*hahaha*).
Roadtrip to Joensuu. Dark clouds ready to dump some water on us.
Gorgeous church in Joensuu.
Huge pipe organ.
Pretty ceiling paintings dating back to 1903.
Chandelier.
Such a pretty church!
Church bell.
Really cool gravestone. This grave is so old! You can barely read the text.
Tiny flowers.
My very pregnant friend and I by the Joensuu river walk.
Joensuu has a whole block full of arts and crafts stores. Here's some of them.
I don't have any pics from inside but believe me, they have some seriously cute stuff! I bought a handmade soap dish and salt soap bar.
Mr. Wolf and I.
Heading to the market place.
I may have visited a candy store as well (*giggle*). But at least my car ride back wasn't boring.
After our trip to Joensuu I went to pick blueberries from the nearby forest. This cute squirrel got scared of Jinx and I.
Jinx likes to sit and watch me pick berries.
Yummy superfood! I just love it that in Finland you can pick berries straight from the woods.
These sweet little snacks are so easy to make. Just put few blueberries on a toothpick and dip it in melted white chocolate. Decorate with sprinkles and then refrigerate for couple hours.
That's my weekend. What did you do?
