Yes, nearly all haves sauna. And for example my parents, they have two saunas. One in the house and one out. And we usually use that sauna which is out, becouse atmosphere outside is different (no electricity, no shower).

Just imagine dark christmasevemorning, path in snow to the sauna. Close to path is big icelanterns candels inside. In sauna is also just lanterns, quiet and calm and in sauna heater has living fire. Ah, just can't wait!!

Wow! That's scary to me! Do you wear warm clothes while you walk to the sauna?

I'm glad to have you here! I don't know enough about Finland.

Well that's a horse stable, and next to that is a very lovely old mansion. That's located quite close to our home. Wish it was mine though. :D
