It's quite a while ago that the Venetian festival was here in Finland, in the end of August. We celebrate the venetian because the summer cottage season is ending. There are no masks or fancy dresses like a real venetian party, just people gathering, mostly at the summer cottages, shooting fireworks. This year we celebrated it at home, with delicious pies and crayfish and a little bubbly. When it got darker we went swimming, in 41 celsius degree water! Super Hot!
