Sayonara Old Faithful
She took us to places like Odawara, Disneyland, Finland Village, again, again, again, again and again, and Hakone.
She never let us down - in town, on the highway, and not even in the toughest conditions!
She had plenty of room to transport furniture or bicycles.
She had two extra seats to fit our friends to take them places like Disneyland with Grandma and Grandpa, Finland Village and Mt Fuji with Samuli's aunt and her family, Hakone with Grandma and Grandpa, fishing with Grandpa, Finland Village with Michael and Sonoko, or Hakone and Mt Fuji with Jonni and Mannu.
After 12 years and only 40 500 kilometers she is in very good shape to spend her retirement days most likely in Russia, Pakistan or some other exotic destination.
We will miss our Old Faithful Toyota Ipsum!

Harmaa sunnuntai
Sunnuntaiaamu on ollut sateinen ja näkymä ikkunoistamme on varsin harmaa. Viime viikon muuton jäljiltä olemme kaikki uupuneita ja päivän suurin ponnistus on sunnuntailounas jossain lähiseudun ravintolassa.

Muuttopuuhissa - Moving out
Olemme asuneet kohta neljä vuotta Tokiossa ja on aika palata kotiin. Muuttokuormaa alettiin pakata tänään, jotta se ehtii Suomeen ennen kuin koulut alkavat syksyllä.
We have been living in Tokyo for almost four years now and it is time to return to Finland. The moving company started packing today in order to get our belongings to Finland in time for the new school year in August.

Run and Walk around the Imperial Palace
We participated the 10th TELL Charity Walk and Runathon! Samuli ran two laps around the Imperial Palace (10 km), Riikka walked one lap with the kids. It was +24C and we really enjoyed it!!
Samuli going along his own path.
Downhill in the beginning.
Imperial palace gate.
"I am thirsty!"
"I am flying!"
Aura finishing the race (Oskari finished 15 minutes earlier).
We did it!
We all did it!
