Ellen in Naantali TAAS!!!!

---

So this was a very long weekend, so Im definitely not going to write everything that happened, but Ellen came to visit me again from Kankaanpaa! Friday night we went to my host aunt's dogs birthday (she has no children, but she has little NELSON!!!), it was pirate themed, and we had a lot of fun...well everyone attacked me with those little popper things, it was a blast, uncontrolable laughing. Saturday Ellen and I met up with Eddy Mexico and a couple other exchange students in Turku and got some free massages and some chinese food! Then Sunday morning was crazy bright and sunny with snow EVERYWHERE so Ellen and I went walking to Muumimaailma (Muumiworld) with Leena and Henkka!
