Greetings from Finland,


our visit is over now. Time passed really fast, we couldn´t easily remember all the visits and occasions happened somewhere during the stay. We noticed the fact when following the show of the pictures taken in Canada and in the USA during the stop in Frankfurt Airport.

We had a fairwell party in our last evening attending about 30 persons; organisators, host families and friends. Beautiful evening, Thank You!

There were several important occasions taking part in during the evening: we sold our garden game "Mölkky" in auction and Mari and Lynn Oglesby had their birthday party with cake cutting. PDG Dave Carpenter was the winner of the auction and the income will be donated for RI Polio+ -campaign.
Followed by some pictured from the last couple of days of the stay and the return back to Helsinki:




And finally, Helsinki, Finland 20 hours later.




Stop 14 hours later in Airport Frankfurt, Germany at 6 am local time. Teemu isn´t any more staying with us, he took a flight to New York to meet his family.
