The concert was excellent! After that we got the chance to meet the dancers and the conductor. It was really interesting to see and hear Michael playing bassoon in the concert, he is also staying here at Joyce's and Bill's place. Beautiful evening indeed!

This afternoon while Johanna was writing the blog, we others went shopping and it got kind of crazy. Ilmo was - again - our shopper number one, but we others did quite well too. For example I bought a dress, shoes and bag that I wore at the concert and also another bag plus some bracelets!
Ashville is a big town but we still are quite close to nature: yesterday I saw a fox and some turkeys but Niina did even better: she saw a black bear - luckily from a car!
Finland was on the frontpage of Wall Street Journal today. There was an article about rock'n roll artist Michael Monroe and also Alexander Stubb, minister of foreign trade was interviewed. I even learned something new about Finland: we have more metal bands per capita than any country with 53,5 per 100 000 people! Thank you Wall Street Journal!
