I'm finally home!

First of I wanted to say I'm sorry, I haven't posted in over a week, it feels awful of me, but thanks to eSteem the phone app I have been able to vote and comment regularly during my time away, so I haven't been totally offline. I have been traveling around with bus and car a lot last week to meet some of the people I normally don't have time to meet up with, I have spent so many hours in the bus so it's gonna be nice spending some time at home, and since I haven't had the time/motivation to write anything I now decided to tell you guys about what I did last week. ![20347798_1458289904217919_1324234275_o.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmeYjyh7FLGDVHN8SEb8XU77zU7JVE3p3E4njPJmxR7k6p/20347798_1458289904217919_1324234275_o.jpg) ___

Visiting my old man

I don't meet my old man too often so I went to see him in Parainen, but the bus from __Helsinki__ only take you to __Turku__ and from there you have to take another bus to __Parainen__, so before taking the bus I went to meet with a couple friends. As I arrived in Parainen I met more friends, fellow steemians actually, afterwards I went to stay at my cancer fighting old man's place for a few days. ![Helsinki-Turku-Parainen.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPyTUATDfCLzHWFC5ZsD8zS4QJ9sWqJVKTFUqUMajETQK/Helsinki-Turku-Parainen.jpg) He have a really good attitude and is doing okay so it was nice spending some time with him, we played some games and drank beer and just talked with each other. The same day I where going back to Helsinki my younger brother arrived and we went to see some relatives. My younger brother asked me if he could join me to Helsinki, he needed to buy new clothes and wanted to spend some time away from home, and so we took the bus from __Parainen__ to __Turku__ to __Helsinki__. ___

Back in Helsinki with my brother

When arriving in Helsinki there is still a 20 minutes subway ride and 10 minutes bus ride to get home, and when finally home we sat down on the sofa and watched a movie, we were too tired to do anything. Next day we slept way too long then went shopping and suddenly it's evening again, arriving at home staying up all night playing video games together[(Crash Bandicoot for PS4)](https://steemit.com/gaming/@jerry12/game-review-crash-bandicoot-n-sane-trilogy-gameplay). ![20424736_1458290027551240_807347038_o.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVMs5Ss1j9tyvBnvEjgnyFbBdHSjyFED4LoPKdP9ZWkgR/20424736_1458290027551240_807347038_o.jpg) _From the evening I arrive at home in Helsinki with my brother_ ___

Musical in Tammisaari

Next morning we had to wake up early to get to the bus, my brother was going home to Taalintehdas where we meet again later on in the story. And I had to meet up with my girlfriend for a musical. ![helsinki-Tammisaari.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXCcFgrrq7ERpe2abuMd1hcCyR3zWcFWjbFDv7DRtGNZD/helsinki-Tammisaari.jpg) So I went to Tammisaari(an old looking small town) and met with my girlfriend, we had some time to kill before the musical, and went for ice cream in the city! ![20348232_1458290330884543_2117522273_o.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmU137XbmYJGn7H4uSnpQjKG5LLwqxjuMypcj6MtHNKQst/20348232_1458290330884543_2117522273_o.jpg) _The quality isn't the best when taken from inside moving car with my phone_ ![20424830_1458290977551145_1074444037_o.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbrJRF3GkPhSEXcWA61eAZVnxtbt4shx2nVCjmvKrbugp/20424830_1458290977551145_1074444037_o.jpg) _Ice cream down in the city_ ![20348171_1458290144217895_1892015684_o.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmShajv2LYtRhcmU761xFNCdBBGsi15xWmbNcHqJUUYszz/20348171_1458290144217895_1892015684_o.jpg) _On the way to the musical I saw a whale bobbing around!_ ![20316984_1458289664217943_1196346827_o.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQ8ftGXsThw69vzGwY9spaxCd3RxydxATaNC4bowMvNVb/20316984_1458289664217943_1196346827_o.jpg) _This is where we parked the car while heading to the musical_ It was about a 300m walk to get there it was so beautiful along the way! ![20424612_1458290454217864_764570422_o.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmcyQqB7GpsUvck9GdgaBCLwmZtFvCXhnrEqABDmtD2v6q/20424612_1458290454217864_764570422_o.jpg) ![20348164_1458290614217848_871505232_o.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVoduSudk4NFcmDWz6SB1Rfwij6yA8T4JBAm1crMehUpg/20348164_1458290614217848_871505232_o.jpg) _Some old ruins on the way_ The play was really good, the main character is our friend and also the reason I came went on a musical play, usually I don't attend to these events, but I'm glad I went, the play was great and I forgot to take any pictures during it, until the very end and suddenly at the last second I managed to get a shot. ![20394488_1458290544217855_1453420517_o.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUSM6GBmWjeVimfgbHD5T3JibGY41WQdxxSYDLS1DbDXi/20394488_1458290544217855_1453420517_o.jpg) _At the end of the play_ Afterwards we met with our friend from the play and headed to her place at the center of the city where we also met the rest of the crew from the play. We went out with them for some drinks, it was nice learning to know new people, and theater/musical people are so open and fun to hang with and suddenly it's night again. ___

Journey continues to Kisko

And next morning once again early up, now to head for [Kisko](https://steemit.com/blog/@jerry12/survived-another-finnish-midsummer) where my girlfriend and her parents have their summer cottage, I wrote about it earlier in a post if you're interested. ![Tammisaari-kisko.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmY8oGpv8f1jNGFWVBimBFLWhtxsN75TMebQiyJrYKvyY6/Tammisaari-kisko.jpg) ![20399109_1458291084217801_1570462349_o.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSFLHGfUxt6QY2sXy6V774L1JBxpZ6sbmet2rzLj4QsoD/20399109_1458291084217801_1570462349_o.jpg) _Lots of fields along the way, you find them on most of the roads down here in Finland_ We only went to Kisko to get my mother in law and from there to Taalintehdas to get their [dog](https://steemit.com/animals/@jerry12/for-all-you-crazy-dog-loving-people-showcasing-golden-retriever-puppy), which I also wrote about. We picked up 'Joda' the dog and went to visit my mother which live in Taalintehdas where I grew up. ___

Dog meeting in Taalintehdas!

Well anyway here are some shots and a gif of the dogs together: https://media.giphy.com/media/C3jJ7O9kdKcrC/giphy.gif _Joda rushing into the mountain side :D_ ![20399155_1458285204218389_546437698_o.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmX4ut1V5JHmUJtxZCEe79Sd6HfpsWpY6shfobd8RGTSmd/20399155_1458285204218389_546437698_o.jpg) _The looks :D, she have one more week before the predicted birth giving_ ![20347845_1458285354218374_2082178826_o.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmU2wbhKB732VEwezhcaoA3GSvKoc2jqb4JwQMJEyUvfrS/20347845_1458285354218374_2082178826_o.jpg) _They became good friends :)_ We stayed for dinner and then headed back to Kisko... ___

Heading back to Kisko

Back at Kisko we sat fire in Sauna and took it easy with a few beers and some music. ![20347885_1458290267551216_1221510505_o.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmf5vZxjU2KDoVvF2YX4t4qTsMqAAjPgM4UJSyTLrC9pfV/20347885_1458290267551216_1221510505_o.jpg) _Sauna, beer and skinny dippin_ ___

Next morning we finally jumped on the bus back home to Helsinki!
