Guests

Oh my god, I just noticed that I haven't written in almost 2 months. The reason for that is that we have been so busy every day and all the weekends, that I just haven't had the time to post. At the same time it has been gorgeous weather and I haven't been sitting inside behind the computer at all. However, now I have a lot to tell from the last couple of weeks.

May has been guest month for us. It started with Matt and Renelle, who visited us for a weekend before they flew to Mexico for a wedding.

Halfway May my parents, with my uncle and his wife came to visit us. They had first spend a few days in New York and came by train to Toronto. We picked them up from the train station and they stayed at our place the next 11 days. I had taken the Monday and Friday off to have a bit more time with them. The whole time the weather had been very nice, so we primarily grilled every night food on the barbecue and sat at patios enjoying beers. Our guests went sightseeing every day and got a good impression of the city. I went with them to the Toronto islands and Niagara falls.

The last weekend that they were here we played floorball at the Canada Cup. A tournament with teams from even the States. I played at the Darkside woman's team and Juha at the men's recreational team. We both did very well and got into the finals. We woman lost with penalty shots, but were a good second after the USA woman's floorball team. The men lost as well because of small mistakes and they should have won the whole thing, because they were better. Well next year we'll try again.

On Sunday evening my friend Mervi, from Finland came to visit us for 10 days as well. For one day it was very crowded at B&B Laan-Kaari. On Monday we said goodbye to my parents and uncle/wife, but I was happy Mervi was there to keep me company. Juha was busy with the last exams and didn't have much time to spend with us.  
I had a great time with Mervi and we did funny stuff. We also ate and shopped too much.

It was great to have all those people over who we haven't seen for a long time. Thanks for visiting us!
