Night of Ancient Bonfires

Our summer here in Finland has gone too fast and it's time to start packing again. Hot Italy is waiting for us. Here summer is already ending and schools have started. On the last Saturday of August there's a tradition in the archipelago of Finland were people light bonfires to celebrate the end of summer and now it's organized in Kotka, too. This tradition has expanded to other parts of the Baltic coast and the idea is to light the fire at the same time in all the Baltic countries so that it forms a chain of bonfires and gets people to think about the well-being of the Baltic sea. As we still were here I decided to take Armando and the girls (Daniele was visiting his friend in Lovisa) to see the bonfire that was lit at 21.30 in the park of Katariina. There were lots of people, a very nice family event!
