Mighty tiny adventurers tiny dog Thor and minibrothers visited the Sammallahdenmäki Bronze Age Burial site & nature trail today.

This wasn't actually what we had planned for the day, but since we were nearby and have planned to visit this site, history nerds as we are, we decided to put a beautiful day to good use and went to look for the cairns. What we found was a new favorite nature trail which we'll definitely come visit again. The silence in the Finnish countryside & woods is so calming, especially after all the chaos and pain of these past months ❤

Thor made sure we remembered the most important bit: the snack breaks. Excellent work, tiny dog!

Minimond and Aeggy gave their Targaryen approval to Bronze Age Finns' burial rituals. Minimond also managed to conquer the pathway bridge in his family's name. (Poor Aeggy was getting dizzy(drunk) from all the excitement and kept falling - but did not pull his brother down along with him this time like he did that one time when we visited the castle in Turku. Fishing them both from the remains of the moat around the castle was sure an adventure Minimond would have rather not had... :*)

I also had to take a picture of the beautiful lace doily-like lichen on one of the burials ❤

This display of traditional bobbin lace-making is in the Kirsti Home Museum in Old Rauma, Finland. The two porcelain cats on the window sill are facing outward to indicate that the residents are home.
