St Michael's Day celebration in Rocca Al Mare open air museum.


We went with three groups to see how old Estonians used to live.
We were singing folk songs to drive off the rain and to call out the sun and also played a folk game "Lets go to cut rye".




Walked from farmhouse to farmhouse and explored what chores old Estonians used to do and which tools they used.



We checked out farm animals - pig and sheep.

We sawed wood, so there would be enough to heat the house in the winter, made big and small logs.
We went home dancing "endless polka".
