So the whole purpose of the trip was becasue I really wanted to see some reindeer. They are really popular in Sweden, they eat a lot of reindeer meat, with everything, and use their fur for lots of things. The Sami people keep and herd reindeer for a living and then use their antlers for tools, their fur for keeping warm and their meat for food. They can sometimes been seen from the roads in Kiruna, but I hadn't been lucky enough to see them. The Sami place had 18 of it's own reindeer that it kept, and you could go into their pen and take photos of them! It made me so very happy! They really are interesting animals, they all had their horns, which are quite furry and they were quite used to humans which made for some great photo oppourtunities!
