re: IM wondering.. where is your first visit to out of country, if you could?

That video was awesome. But there is no way that that river had enough time to warm up to any American Southerner's standards in the short "summer-time" that you get in Finland. It bet it is ice-cold and not a single person in that video had any type of sunburn. Nope!

I just bought a sprinkler for my kids and hooked it up to an outside water hose for some cooling off and it took 5 minutes to get the boiling hot water out of the water pipes just to let them cool off without them having 2nd degree burns.

I don't think my kids are ready to swim in Finland right now, lol.
