Old Rauma / Vieja Rauma / Vieille Rauma

In English:

Old Rauma – area full of old wooden houses in Rauma.

It was in July when we decided to visit the Annual Lace Week in Rauma. My wife was eager to see this old tradition how to make lace crafts and me those famous old wooden houses there. Lace, that we did not see, but those old houses yes. My wife was delighted when we found an exhibition of patchworks and quilting. I’ll show later photos from this exhibition.

Old Rauma is huge area with 600 buildings full of old wooden houses. They are not museum houses, but people live in them. This is great tradition. Also Old Rauma is found on the UNESCO World Heritage list.

En español:

Antigua Rauma – area llena de viejas casas de madera en Rauma.

Estuvo en julio cuando decidimos visitar la semana anual de encaje en Rauma. Mi mujer estuvo ansiosa de ver esta tradición vieja cómo hacer artes de encaje y yo esas famosas viejas casas de madera allí. El encaje, eso no lo veíamos, pero esas viejas casas sí. Mi mujer fue encantada cuando encontramos una exposición de almazuelas y colchas. Mostraré fotos más tarde de esta exposición.

Vieja (antigua) Rauma es un área inmensa con 600 edificios llenos de viejas casas de madera. Ellos no son casas de museo, pero la gente vive en ellos. Esto es una gran tradición. Antigua Rauma también es encontrado en la lista de Herencia de Mundo de UNESCO.

En francais:

Vieille Rauma – quartier plein de vieilles maisons en bois dans Rauma.

C’était au mois de juillet quand nous avons décidé de visiter la semaine annuelle de dentelle dans Rauma. Ma femme avait hâte de voir cette vieille tradition comment faire des métiers de dentelle et moi ces vieilles maisons célèbres en bois là. La dentelle, cela on n’a pas vu, mais ces vieilles maisons oui. Ma femme a été enchantée quand nous avons trouvé une exposition de patchwork (courtpointe) et quilt. Je montrerai des photos plus tard de cette exposition.

Vieille Rauma est un quartier énorme avec 600 bâtiments pleins de vieilles maisons en bois. Elles ne sont pas maisons de musée, mais les gens habitent en eux. Ceci est la grande tradition. Aussi vielle Rauma est trouvé sur la liste de Patrimoine Mondiale de l’UNESCO.

Bonjour Matti,
on finit 2009 avec une jolie balade. Un peu fatiguée d’avoir tant marché dans les rues de Rauma, je prendrais bien le petit train pour finir la visite et saluer l’ours, gardien des lieux !
Bonne année, et à bientôt ! 🙂
Amicalement

Good afternoon, Matti
First I would like to thank you for the beautiful photos of the patchwork blankets. Perhaps I am trying to sew myself a blanket. I will inquire about how it is done. Now about this page here, I’ve clicked. Everything looks very clean and romantic. The colorful buildings and the architecture of other buildings is very interesting and I like that. The locomotive, the church and the big black bear that fell on me. It must be nice to spend the holiday there. The sun was shining as I could see, and therefore the colors are all very natural. When you look at the pictures, create the feeling of standing in place and to experience everything with. They have presented everything very exemplary and brilliant. I thank you for letting me watch it again for me. I continue to try to visit your blog and wish you and Anja, good luck and health to your daily routes. Dear greetings Christel

- Hi Christel.
  
  You are welcome. That what You think being church is not; it is “Alt Rathaus”, but it does not matter. I am delighted that You liked my photos and took a walking tour in old Rauma.
