Monday was winter sports day for us HEEM folks (who, by the way, instantaneously turned into children as soon as we arrived at the winter playground.) Our administrative coordinator, Tea, organized a day trip to Saarikylat, a community just 30 km outside of Tampere 
known for its maze of rivers, lakes and islands. For the Finns, this is an outdoor haven during any season of the year. Definitely a special place!You can check out the video on winter sports here! A compilation of our Skiing-Sauna-Ice-Skating adventures!
Thank goodness it was still cold enough to ice-skate, because that was unequivocally the highlight. It's a unique experience b
ecause you don't wear 
traditional ice-skates. You wear nordic boots and snap on ice blades to the front of the boot. Very cool! And then, it's smooth sailing on the ice, but not for everyone...as there was so serious carnage...Thai, Indian, and Australian road kill.
