Saint Patrick's Day

Saint Patrick's Day was even bigger thing here than i had thought. People were wearing green clothes everywhere and we had a big parade because of that. People were so happy, and maybe it was because people really enjoyed of their time with family and friends. Saint Patrick's Day is big fest for young people because then they have big parties with friends the whole day and they even like to party this day one week earlier which is called fake paddys day.

After parade we went to pack our stuff with maria and tried to sleep  a little bit because it after midnight it was time for SPRING BREAK and that way time to leave to Galveston, Texas. YAY! Here we are now after long 14 hours trip and we can't be happier. This place is just what we wanted and needed.

Los Angeles - Hollywood - Beverly Hills - Santa Monica

L.A was maybe my favourite place because we also went to hollywood, santa monica and becerly hills and i felt so happy. Finally i was visiting here and i was able to see the hollywood-sign and many other places with my own eyes!!!! I still start to smile when i think about that. There were also beautiful landscapes everywhere AND THE OSCARS was at that time so we were lucky to see the red-carpet and how things are rolling there. It was so fun and crazyy! And universal studios were so amazing. Can't wait the next time to visit in L.A.

March in Emporia

Today it was really beautiful and warm day  here and it made us smile. It was +25 celsius and tomorrow they promised +27 celsius so it feels like summer here. Because of this we decided to go to the park right next to us immediately after school. There were families playing and spending quality time with each other while we tried to take a little bit sun while reading. I continued this Nicholas Sparks - The lucky one which seems pretty good so far.

P.s. I love this song:

Hoover Dam - on our way to Las Vegas

From Flaggstaff we headed to Las Vegas which took about four hours to drive there. But just on the border of Nevada is this really famous Hoover Dam that we wanted to see, so we did a quick stop there. Whole trip to Las Vegas was really beautiful and warm, so all of us were repeating sentences like: "omg this is so awesome", "im so happy right now", "Finland is so boring" and etc.. being in US felt so right and good.

Breathtaking Grand Canyon

Our first stop was Flagstaff in Arizona, and I think i don't need to say why. Grand Canyon was so beautiful and incredible place. I have seen pictures before and I knew what to expect, but omg, it was more than i had imagined. There were many places where you got different views, and I recommend if you gonna go there someday you should go see at least two or three different views.

After Grand Canyon we went to eat and shop a little bit but we were quite tired after driving so we wanted to go sleep early. In the morning we start to drive to Las Vegas but on our way we wanted to stop and see famous Hoover Dam.

p.s. whole Arizona looked really beautiful

Let's go!!

Our trip started on tuesday two weeks ago but everything didn't go like we had planned. In the morning we had an exam buttt of course we slept over (you can only imagine how nice it was to go and see the professor and say "sorry we don't know what happened but we slept over" and see how he was thinking "yea right" ). However, we returned our homeworks and headed to other class. We needed to return some homeworks to that class also but of course i wasn't able to find my homeworks for that class from my computer ("This can't be true, not now"). Well luckily i found other one from weird location but other one is still lost. Well after this class it was time to go home and pick our stuff and leave, finally. We walked tired to our car (because we had done various homeworks last night because we had many deadlines during our trip) and drove back home. Everything looked to be fine untillllll we saw that we had a parking ticket on our window, GREAT! Haha, we really needed a break from school.

It was about 3:30pm when we started to drive from Emporia to Flagstaff, Arizona. Out first destination was to go and see Grand Canyon. It took 16 hours to drive there but it wasn't that bad because we had four drivers and we had waited this trip for so long.

On the road

Huhhuh mikä reissu on ollu ja on edelleen (Tuomas lähti friscosta ajelee chigagoon, joten ollaan marian kanssa nyt vaan kahdestaan). Ollaan nähty enemmän ku uskottiin ja kuvattu ihan liikaa, et ekaa kertaa elämässää kameran ottaminen kuvaamista varten tuntuu raskaalta (uskokaa tai älkää)! Ollaan kokoajan menty ja tehty, joten aikaa ei oo ollu ku korkeintaa deletoida ja vähän muokata kuvia. Nyt istutaan kuitenki noin kolme tunti junassa matkalla Seattleen Portlandista, joten koitan jos muutaman päivityksen sais kirjotettuu. Alla on kuva meidän reissusta.

We have had a fantastic journey which still continues from Portland to Seattle. We have seen so much awesome things and for the first time taking pictures feels heavy (believe it or not). We have done different kind of things all the time and we have way too many pictures from this roadtrip and it is hard to choose which ones i wanna show you. Like I said we are heading to Seattle by train so we have about three hours time so i try my best and update this blog a little bit. Here is picture were we have been.
