The Chronicles Of Chris!

man this is exciting! i have my own blog! ok, i'm putting a little notice on my parents blog saying that i started this. i'm hoping whoever is reading this read the last thing i wrote on my parents blog about the camp. if you haven't then this little story i'm about to add will still be funny but it will be better if you've read about camp. so i was sitting in the sauna with this guy raido (pronounced ride-o), who spoke good english and translated for me sometimes, and we were talking about the sauna and he told me this story which he says is true, and i have no reason to doubt him so i'm going to believe its true. so the story is the pope in rome wanted to send some guy to check on the spirituality of the estonians. so the guy comes and at the the time estonia was occupied by the germans. so the german guy in charge has a good sense of humor and so he aranges for the estonians to take the guy from rome to the sauna, you understand me so far? so he gets the full sauna experience, first he gets to sit in the sauna sweating away, then he gets to get beaten (and beat others) with a branch from some special tree, and then he gets to drink kali (a bitter estonian drink made from fermented bread i think). so then after all this he writes a letter back to rome and the pope and saysthis about estonian spirituality: the estonian spirituallity is wonderful. they have these little house built especially to remind themselves of hell. in these houses they heat it up up really hot like hell, then they beat each other with sticks and drink a very bitter drink. i love this story becuase i can understand how this roman guy felt becuase if no one had explained the sauna to me i would definitely have thought it was supposed to remind you of hell. thats a cool story and my first post on my new blog but now i gotta go send emails to everyone to tell everyone that this exists, Cya.
