Late spring-to-end of summer 2/2

At the nd of our time in Salo we cleaned up the signs of our time at the wonderful apartment where we had views like this

It was rather sad to depart from our summery retreat, where Halle had made friends with the neighbors and we had settled to live. Perhaps some day we come back.. Thank you all our good friends in Salo, the time was great not only because of the view but because of good friends.
The white couch got some banana stains that would not come off even with extra washes..
Why there is so little pictures from Salo you may ask... well Our camera managed some three pictures, then ran out of battery and we noted that the charger was in Oulu.. hence very few photos.. Will add the ones from friends here if I can get them.

Here is peregrine at the local art museum front yard, where an old steam engine was on display, he was way more impressed with the train than the great artwork inside..:)

We had a chance to visit my brother and play a little disc golf and hang out a little.. Although the last day in Salo I walked too much and got a sore right foot, which kept me from going places some.. Peregrine had an ear infection which we waited out with two consultations from MD. Sumuvuori.

The train ride up north was a nightmare, took forever and we were so tired of travelling.. and had way too much luggage to make it home from the station.. We were all little under the weather and tired by the time we finally exited the train at Oulu train station. HUGE thanks to Nora our friend who came and rescued us by giving us a lift home...

Back to the salt mines we go.. some 20 exams and loads of clinical work still ahead.. move to a bigger apartment and one scientific article before graduation... Phew!
