helping high school students move out and in a diaspora head across
the country to thier hometowns. They were sad and crying which
indicates that they had a pretty good experience. Now I'm on jet in
Frankfurt, Germany on a chilly rainy day (@57 degrees) waiting to head
to Helsinki, Finland.
Today I've essentially eaten brunch twice with Deutsche frühstick
(German breakfast) thrown in for good measure.
I running on about 5 hours sleep and if I can make it till tonight I
should beat jetlag.
I'm lookin forward to visiting Päivi, essentially my big sister, and
her family. She lived with my family for a year as our exchange
student when I was in the 3rd or 4th grade. Her brother Tommi, who's
my age, stayed with us numerous times also. We have all stayed in
touch and this is actually my second visit to Finland, my first was
very short and in the heart of winter. I reality I'm visiting family.

You made it all the way to Finland, John. We love having you as our guest; as you said we have luckily been able to meet on quite regular basis, but most of the times in US. So it is great this time to have you here in Finland.
I am so thankful that I got mom, dad, you, Keri and the great family of Stephany´s and Kerr´s as my host family during my exchange student year in 1979. I feel so blessed! Not so many people have two dear families; one in Finland and another in US...I do and I am so happy about it.
