Skiing on the Marketplace - Torihiihtoa

I wonder what other town gives you the opportunity to ski in the middle of the town's center on marketplace? This was the case on last Thursday. It was very cold and a chilly wind was biting our cheeks. Many happy families had gathered on the market place despite the weather. There was excitement in the air, the children were having a skiing competition. It was amazing how fast some children were able to ski around the market place! People were in good mood and I bet that the children didn't even notice the coldness because they were so full of enthusiasm! What a great event!

Mahdetaankohan missään muualla hiihtää keskellä kaupunkia pitkin toria? Viime torstaina oli tällaisen hulvattoman tapahtuman vuoro Raumalla. Pakkanen ja tuuli purivat poskia kipeästi, mutta silti torille oli kokoontunut runsaasti väkeä katsomaan lasten hiihtokilpailua. Oli uskomatonta, miten nopeasti jotkut lapset kiersivät toria! Ihmiset olivat hyvällä tuulella. Uskon, ettei monikaan lapsi innostukseltaan edes huomannut kylmyyttä! Mahtava tapahtuma!
