We started with touring Metso...a company that builds giant boilers. Some were as large as 70 metres!
Then we went to the old ammunition factory that is now turned into a museum, art exhibition, arts theatre, and cafe. The Finns are very practical. They take old buildings that are not being used for their original purpose and change them into something completely different. We tend to tear these buildings down and build new ones.
We then did a quick tour of the town hall, a cooperative bank, and church. At the town hall we learned about Lapua. Gailmarie also took the seat of the mayor!
At the bank, Marty secured himself a loan for the 250 million EUR yaht that he ordered from Baltic Yahts a week and a half ago.
At the church we had the opportunity to hear the church organ...the biggest organ in Finland! It has 6667 pipes! Enjoy!
