It is Friday evening - or perhaps already Saturday morning? The day has been full of activities - again! We had an unforgettable breakfast with our hosts in a nice old restaurant and what else? A Grammy winner musician with his wife played us Bluegrass. We wrote our names in his guitar box, so the names of Erikka, Sari, Niina, Ilmo and Johanna are travelling all around the world with his box. After the breakfast we visited the local paper mill and found that one paper mill was made by the Valmet - Finnish company.

In the afternoon, John and Mark drove us from Waynesville to district conference in Charlotte. The people of Waynesville  - thank you for your hospitality and positive presence!

A long day's night. Just a few minutes ago our team arrived at the hotel after baseball game. Yes, we were watching Kannapolis Intimidators' game. The guest team won, but we learned a lot about American baseball and our team members had a chance to enjoy hot dogs and what was the best: the team assistant GM presented us with the team caps.

Good night,
Johanna
