Day before yesterday I had invited my son Tomas to have dinner with me at my place.
One hour earlier he called, asking if he can bring a young lady with him. Knowing his very good taste, I did agree immediately. He then added that I know this young woman, and her name is Lucy. I quite did not understand, before he said that I had met Lucy two years earlier in Antiqua in Guatemala. That was interesting! He then soon arrived with a very pretty and charming lady. Lucy told me that we met in my favourit latin bar
down there,and I had asked her to contact me if ever in Helsinki.And there she was now.
She had tried to find me trough Face book, but found instead my son Tomas. She had been here already for some days staying with him and visiting his friends on the country cottages. They seem to get along very well,Lucy being 24, just one week younger than him. She is native from Michigan, whose greatgreat grandparents came early last century from Finland.I also earlier have met several very pretty girls from Michigan with Finnish ancestors.
Well,we had an enjoyable evening, and I hope to see her again, before she leaves Finland.

Terrace life
The Summer here has been just lazy comfortable life with my dog.Strolling daily from a terrace bar to another makes fun, when a sunny day. Although I have been on the wagon volontarily for quite a while.
A couple of weeks ago I got visitors from Australia, my long-time friends David and Denise Maxwell from Gold Coast did stay in Helsinki for three nights. I had planned a plenty of program for them, but after a dinner with my sons Kristian and Tomas,and a beautiful day on Hästö island about 50 km westwards from Helsinki, where Risto and Tuuti Keinonen hosted us marvellously, David decided (even retired) to start to work with his former business friends. They moved to Lahti, and I have not seen them since.
Poor Denise! For David the only sense of life is work ( business). A vacation is for him boring and total vaste of time.
Now I have started to book new adventures. In Sept./Oct. I shall be cruising at Black Sea for seven nigths visiting harbours in four countries. And later on Oct.24 I'll fly to Los Angeles to start once again a trip around the world with a Singles Cruise with "Mariner of the Seas" of Royal Caribbean, for one week at Mexican Riviera.
When back in L.A. I'll continue to Singapore for three days. After that everything will be kept open exept that I shall be back in Finland a couple of days before Christmas.
