Thank you all for the warm welcome. I'll try to respond to all right here.

- Ratblock - you stayed exactly where we will be staying Breckenridge. We'll think of you in July. What a small world it is sometimes.

- Groovyjay - I look forward to hearing from you regarding your travels here next summer. What are your plans so far?

- FinnShark Montreal - I do hope to visit Finland once more before I'm too old. It's been twelve years since our last visit and that's really too long. Of course, right now there is that thing about the economy and the exchange rate.

- V-P - Yes those are familiar photos, especially the one of your Minnesota relatives gathered around the stone monument. Unfortunately my two little Finnish-English dictionaries don't get me to the word mammanpoika. The closest word is mammutti. However, the explanation of my handle is quite easy: MN is the official postal abbreviation for Minnesota, so mnpoika it is. Does that appear strange in Finnish? Please feel free to share any photos I have sent.

Best regards,

-Roger-
