Midsummer

Midsummer is a very popular and awaited holiday in Finland. Most people leave the city for a weekend at a summer cottage. We spent Midsummer with my in-laws at a lovely summer house in Hirvensalmi. It's a beautiful place by the lake. The water was freezing but we still took a quick dip from the sauna. We also had fun fishing and rowing.

Unfortunately the weather wasn't very sunny but it was still a nice mini-break. I will be going back after one week of work so hopefully weather will get better :)
