Sunday evening 'hygge'. The days are already short and dark, and it's getting colder outside.

"Americans have recently spent more money buying Halloween costumes for their pets than the amount given to reach the unreached."

The Finnish schools have autumn break, so we decided to visit Northern Sweden again, since it only takes 3,5 hrs by ferry from Vasa (Fin) to Umeå (Swe). On our way to our friends in Luleå we stopped by in Skellefteå, where they have a unique hotel - one of the tallest wooden buildings in the world (20 floors): The Wood Hotel by Elite.

Soon the last leaves have fallen off the trees. We're heading towards winter here in Finland. I pray this winter won't be as cold as last winter, since the cost of electricity has increased several times. It will cost us a little more than one thousand euros a month, if we will have the same temperatures. That's too much, since we have a high inflation going on when everything is getting more expensive, but we still have the same income. I have already heard of Finns that have to sell their houses, because they know they won't be able to afford to keep their homes.

I took a bike ride right before sunset. It was worth it. Can you spot the swan?

I'm not American, but I found this post worth sharing!
