I know there are many countries that claim to be the originators of the sauna. I like to think the Finnish "invented" it.
Growing up in Northern Michigan, many of our Finnish family friends had saunas either in their homes or at their camps. We even finally had one in our home. That was 25+ years ago.
I'm curious, is it still a popular thing to have in a house/camp for those who are descendants of Finnish-Americans now that another generation has come? Or, has it become a lost tradition?
Also, are saunas still popular in Finland? Do they still play a large roll in the lives of the Finns?
Just curious...
