OMG I ate reindeer

Day 5 - Today we experienced the traditional Finnish customs.  The whole family along with the other family showing us around rented a floating sauna,  We sat in a very steaming sauna then jumped into the lake which was only 55 degrees.  Boy was it cold but fun!  I did went back and forth several times and did a little fishing.  After that we went to an old log cabin to eat an old fashion Lapland meal.  We started out with perch soup then were served mashed potatoes with what was referred to as "game".  I later learned it was reindeer - that was a horrible trick!!!!!! Although it did taste like roast beef.  To finish the evening, we all went bowling - I need to practice more because I got smoked.
