sauna & nakenbad

More Swedish local customs: my sister has a summer house with a sauna just by a lake. Last night we prepared ourselves by eating crayfish with the appropriate beverages and then we all trotted down to the water. I had completely forgotten what a purifying experience a steaming sauna can be. We all sweltered in the heat until we could take it no more and then ran like naked Vikings, high on toadstool, straight into the water. I had also forgotten how great it is to swim naked. Afterwards we had raspberry cake and fell asleep exhausted and very happy.

The next day I had a first-class idea: wouldn’t it be great to build a floating sauna and take it around Europe? You could anchor the float outside the Houses of Parliament in London, the Tour Eiffel in Paris, etc. and then fire up the stones. It would surely be quite an attraction with all those naked bums. If you call it an “art installation” you’d even be protected against prosecution for indecency.
