This sauna was built by my great-grandmother Impi Kivela,more than 70 years ago.
Impi was originally from Helsinki, Finland.
She had nine children and this is where they all bathed.
This sauna was built by one of Impi's sons, my great uncle John.

Of course, I am her favorite granddaughter. Right, Stacy?

Impi was born in Humpila, just south west of Helsinki. ;)
Muck muck.
It looks just like saunas here in Finland except that we don't have pools but a lake or the sea beside the sauna. Finnish people also bathe and swim naked in private saunas, sometimes both sexes together. Swimming suites or towels are only used in public saunas. :-)
Well, you know, we had to put our bathing suits on for the camera in order to blog the pictures.....

For those of you who can read Finnish, Juhana Harju has a fascinating raw foods and healthy living blog:
