However, the forecast predicted rain over all of Southern and Central Finland, so I purposely forgot my camera home: it made the weather so much more likely to be nice as I would be annoyed by the lack of opportunity to take pictures.
Luckily the Foreca Meteorologist-On-Call yesterday was totally off with her prediction, and the morning skies were only partly cloudy over Kiikoinen.
I continued the vigil at the telescope in Kiikoinen, but when there was only one hour until the grand final dark rain clouds started covering the easterly skies.

The Homeric Troy is placed North-East of the sea, in front of the "broad Hellespont": therefore, it is quite different from the town near the Dardanelles (notice that the medieval Danish historian Saxo Grammaticus mentions a people named "Hellespontins" in the Eastern Baltic area).
Now, in an area in the south of Finland, west of Helsinki, there are many places whose names startingly recall the names in the Iliad, in particular those of the Trojan Allies: Askainen, Reso, Karjaa, Ly\o kki, Tenala, Kiila, Kiikoinen, Aijala and many others.
Moreover the place-names Tanttala and Sipil\a a (the mythical King Tantalus was buried on a mountain named Sipylus) indicate that this matter doesn't only touch Homer's geography, but affects the entire world of "Greek" mythology.

 The Background of Finnish Emigration
During the next decade, Canada sent emigrant agents on recruitment trips to Finland.
It is reported from Kiikoinen that an "emigrant-runner" at the turn of the century, probably in 1902, took the region's first emigrant to Canada to work on a railroad.
The newspapers of the day contained advertising which depicted Canada as an agricultural nation, where good arable land was offered at a supposedly cheap price.

 Recensione: Vinci, Omero nel Baltico
Esso potrebbe identificarsi con il Golfo di Finlandia, il corrispondente geografico dei Dardanelli; poiché d'altra parte Troia, secondo l'Iliade, era ubicata a nord-est del mare (altro punto a sfavore del sito di Schliemann), per la nostra ricerca è ragionevole orientarci verso un'area della Finlandia meridionale, là dove il Golfo di Finlandia sbocca nel Baltico.
E proprio qui, in una zona circoscritta ad occidente di Helsinki, s'incontrano numerosissime località i cui nomi ricordano in modo impressionante quelli dell'Iliade, ed in particolare gli alleati dei Troiani: Askainen (Ascanio), Reso (Reso), Karjaa (Carii), Nästi (Naste, capo dei Carii), Lyökki (Lici), Tenala (Tenedo), Kiila (Cilla), Kiikoinen (Ciconi) e tanti altri.
Varie visite in loco, a partire dall'11 luglio 1992, hanno confermato le straordinarie corrispondenze delle descrizioni dell'Iliade con il territorio attorno a Toija, dove per di più si riscontrano eloquenti tracce dell'età del bronzo.

Place names that astonishingly resemble ones given in the Greek accounts.
Examples: Askainen (Ascanios), Karjaa (Caria), Nasti (Nastes), Lyokki (Lycia), Kiila (Cilla), Raisio (Rhesos), Kiikoinen (the Ciconians); and so it goes.
Locale and surroundings on the northern shore of the Gulf of Bothnia that fits perfectly with Homer's account of beaches, landscapes, and sites battles in the Trojan war.

So I did not have relatives living there.
My mother is from the other part of Satakunta (Kiikoinen) and my father was actually born in Karelian Istmus (Muolaa), from where his family had to move out in 1939-1940, when Finland was forced to give a large part of its territory to the Soviet Union after three months hard resistance against the bolshevist aggression.
A solid ground for my whole life has been the faith to Jesus Christ.
