hyvästi ylämylly

On my last full day in ylämylly we had a bit of an "ulkopäivä". Went skiing for a couple of hours with juuso, marjo and peppi at a nice little skifield called mustavaara, which as far as i can tell translates to black danger - not a fitting name in the slightest, 20km north of ylämylly (at least i think it was north... can never get my bearings here). Was pretty windy at the top but mucho fun-o. Peppi and i also did a bit of sledding down quite a steep hill while marjo used my skis, handy we have the same size feet. Then marjo heated the cheese sammies she'd brought over the fire in a little teepee shaped hut at the bottom of the field. When we got home it was straight back out to do that other weird variety of skiing - 5km cross country just down the road through peaceful forest. It's really fun on the downhill patches but i just don't get the uphill and there's as much of each. Also ate salmon at every 'meal', including some experimental salmon/tofu patties which succeeded scrumptiously (for future reference ingredients were: grated carrot, left over cooked rice and salmon, block of soft tofu, an egg and seasonings). So all in all a good day to go out on. Back to Helsinki tomorrow!
