Vassa part 2

 After a good nights sleep, we went to work with Tomas.  He is a woodworking instructor at a local community place. I'm being vague because I honestly don't remember the name of the place.  We went in and George participated in a wood working lesson. I went to mail a few more packages, and buy some gloves because I stupidly sent them back to Panicale.  Before I left though, I took loads of photos of man tools! (Another Heavy Photo post)


















That is a lot of man tools! This place is incredibly clean too.  I mean, there is dust and all, but for the number of people inside working, I was surprised.  

I took off for a few hours and did all the boring stuff while George had fun.  Around 12:30 I returned and managed to snap a few photos of George working on a few puzzles. 


Safety first!

After our day in the shop, we headed out for lunch then while George took his nap, Tomas and I went back to the shop for more...well...shopping.  He mailed out 2 boxes for me, and our camping days officially ended.  He very kindly gifted us a large Hanayama wooden display that takes up half the car and I purchased a rather large puzzle set from him.  It's ok.  It is starting to be rainy here in Europe now, and that is not a fun way to camp.



We had a nice dinner out with Tomas and his wife and retired after I got a chance to play with his host gift from IPP25.  

The next morning we woke early and headed for Sweden.  But more on that later.   It has been a great trip and I look forward to returning in June for the Finnish Puzzle Party.
