The 3rd day of my stay in Ylläs, I headed for a reindeer farm in the recess |
| In there, there was a small bonfire and an old Finnish lady called "Ally," who runs the reindeer farm around there. She looks like a Russian local doll "Matryoshka." lol  |
At the further back of the room, I saw a reindeer trophy on the wall. Tables, the floor, and desks... everything was made of wood!! So Lapland!! It was my very 1st experience to be in Lappish mood. And I felt strange warmth. |
| I used a washroom outside. It was also made of wood, and its nob was made
of antler of reindeer. The antler looks like a branch but it was much harder than a branch.   |
Ally, the farm owner, took me to a table and gave me a local lunch. Bread, a pretty local wooden cup with hot berry water, and local salmon soup... The soup had comsomme taste so it was a bit salty and really went well |
|
with soft boiled potato with many kinds of herbs. It was very very tasty
that I had another serving. Actually I wanted to have the 3rd one but I couldn't because I was embarrassed a little... |
Then finally, she offerd a piece of cake and a cup of hot tea for dessert. The cake was homemade by the Ally family. My stomach was filled with her love and warmth. I really enjoyed it.    To be continued!! |
