Two months can be a short time, and it can be a very long time, a small lifetime in itself. We're lucky to have done fun things all the way to the end.
Last week we were very privileged to spend a couple of days with Annu's online (and now also real world) friend Donna and her wonderful family. They took us to their campgroud trailer and we had a totally lovely time - we only wish we can repay all the hospitality one day!
Having returned from the shores of Lake Huron, we spent a sporting Friday going to the Blue Jays home game. Tampa Bay beat them in extra innings but so what: it was a tight game and we all - yes, even Annu! - loved the atmosphere, the major league spectacle and the huge hot dogs. Go Jays!!! We've watched their games on tv after that and would like to keep doing that but where can you watch pro baseball in Finland?
One reason we got glued to watching baseball was the hideous weather over the weekend. Both days brought extreme rainfall and thunder, flooded streets and power cuts. So much for our plans of going to Beaches Jazz... but we now know the rules to baseball pretty well ;-)
On Sunday afternoon the storm let up and we spent some time walking around Kensington, the marvellously hippie little pocket of peace, love, pot - and very nice boutiques. We could so stay there for much longer!
Yesterday we did Canada's Wonderland, the huge theme park outside Toronto. The boys loved it and we did too. Annu outdid herself riding a totally crazy ride with Reko. Strange how 10 hours can just disappear!
Having done the last shopping today, all that remains is to pack up tomorrow and get ready for the last big adventure: the long drive to NYC on Thursday. Feels so sad but can't be changed... but just wait for 2011 - we start saving up right away!
