Hello mom!
I had a great time in the hotel room, too, because I met many new toys there. Hostmom's godchild was travelling in Spain, too, and she has many toys with her. We all wanted to have a group-friend-photo, so we took it. And now I want to show it for you, mom.
Love,
Wayne

Gibraltar, Gibraltar (United Kingdom) - 3rd July 2012
By: mmm105
Hello mom!
I visited today in a great place: Gibraltar.
Gibraltar is a British overseas territory located on the southern end of the Iberian Peninsula at the entrance of the Mediterranean.
I saw these flags: A flag of United Kingdom, a flag of European Union, a flag of Gibraltar, and some other flag (I think it's an advertising flag or something).
On the window of one shop I saw a picture of the Queen Elizabeth II. She is the head of Gibraltar state, and represented by the Governor of Gibraltar.
Because Gibraltar is British overseas territory, there's some double-deckers, offcourse. I think those red busses look nice and unique.
In the backround of the photo there's a part of the Rock of Gibraltar.
This is the lighthouse, it's called "The Europa Point".
"The Europa Point Lighthouse was built by Governor Sir Alexander Woodford between 1838 and 1841. It was fully automated in February 1994 and its loom can be seen over a distance of 27 km (17 mi). It is the southernmost lighthouse for which Trinity House is responsible, and the only one outside the UK." (Wikipedia website)
Here I am, in the southern part of Gibraltar.
Look mommy, there's so many ships travelling trought the Strait of Gibraltar. And there's so much more outside the photo!!!
My journey in Gibraltar continues...
Now I am inside of the Rock of Gibraltar. There's a cave, a big one, and inside the cave there's many dripstones!!! Cool!!!
Mommy, I'm in the stalactite cave! Wow!!!
Outside the cave I met a monkey of Gibraltar.
These monkeys have a bad reputations, because they often try to steal from humans. Luckily they were in kind mood today, and didn't try to steal anything from hostmom.
This is one view from the Rock of Gibraltar to the city and the sea. Is it awesome?
And this is one view from the city to the Rock of Gibraltar.
Mommy, I did something really exiting thing!
I drove in a cable car to the top of the Rock of Gibraltar!!!
I'm in the cable car.
And now I'm on the top of the Rock of Gibraltar.
It was a windy place, so hostmom had to take photos quickly.
And there, on the horizon, there's a mountain from Africa!!! Wow!!!
Mommy, I can see the part of Africa!!!
...and the closer-look photo of Africa.
It was a nice day!
Love,
Wayne

Hi mom!
Mommy, can you believe that sometimes can be exactly right place in right time? Well, today it happened. I was in the right place in the right time!
I saw The Olympic Torch!!! And it was only good luck, because it happened suddenly, and hostmom hadn't any clue of that beforehand.
It was so nice surprise, that hostmom couldn't believe her eyes, she couldn't believe it's really true, The Olympic Torch, wow!!! When hostmom started to believe it's really true, she had hurry to have a camera...
I'm so happy, that I was there with hostmom, and I could see the Olympic Torch!
Love,
Wayne

Torremolinos, Spain - 7th July 2012
By: mmm105
i Hola !
Hello mommy!
It's our last day in Spain today. In the evening we are going to the airport of Malaga and start travelling back to Finland.
But before that, we had a nice day to spend, and we were in the city named Torremolinos.
I saw these beautiful flowers there!
Look mom, how nice "stone family" we found!
Can you see me? I'm just in front of the "stone mom".
Here are we: girls (Ronja and Kit-Kat) in the middle, and boys (me and TobiHH) in the left side and (Druri and BarryO) in the right side, and a small fountain behind us.
Mommy, look! I climbed on the BIG sized pineapple!!!
Ha haa, I was kidding!!!
It's not a pineapple, it's a palm tree. Hi hii...
But it looks like a pineapple, don't you think so?
It was so fun, that we searched bigger palm tree, and we all climbed on it.
And this is how this city (Torremolinos) looks like.
Look mom, there's flags of so many countries there!
In the middle there's the flag of European Union, so I think there's all countries' flags who take part in the EU.
There's very nice beach in Torremolinos.
Isn't this bench wonderful? It's so cheer-up!
Before leaving Spain, I wrote a postcard to you, mom.
So, keep an eye on your mailbox!
Love,
Wayne

Jyväskylä, Finland - 15th July 2012

Hi mom!
Today I saw some public art works outside. They are all so unique.
This one is called as "Elämän koulu - vastuu, luottamus, luovuus"
In English it might be something like "A school of life - responsibility, trust, creativity"
This one is "Karhu" ("A Bear"). The artist's name is Oskari Raja-aho, and the statue has made in the year 1930.
Look, we all are riding on the bear!
And there's a statue "Kauppias ja apulainen" ("A Merchant and his assistant). The artist is Pauli Koskinen, and it has made in 1959.
And this one has made the same artist, Pauli Koskinen, in the year 1957. It is art in the outside wall of the building. And it's name is "Reliefi"
After walking a little there started to be dark clouds in the sky, so we turned walking back, and we hoped to arrive 'home' before it's raining...
...But mommy, we didn't managed. It started raining so quickly.
It's already raining when I saw this statue (look at my face, it already got wet a little...)
This statue is "Keinumieli-Tyhjämieli-Häkkimieli" and the artist is Juhani Petäjäniemi, and it has made in 1989.
The name is difficult to translate into English, but it might be something like "a mind of swing - a mind of emptyness - a mind of cage".
And the rain, it was HARD, we got totally wet within one minute.
We run back 'home', and inside it was time to get dry again, aww...
What an adventure!!!
Love,
Wayne
