Charly's family visits

The Kleint Family in the Keys

Charly and sister Connie fishing

Mother Sylvia and dinner!

Not really!

Charly Cooks!!!

Charly harasses host family cat -

named Charlie!

Some may ask why Charly has so many pictures on this site. The answers:

1. Her family in Germany visits this site so many times I think we have a Guinness World Record

2. She lives close to the Web Nerd and is a pain in the ass about posting her pictures - the other students could do the same!

Every once in a while the guys have to get up early and do something nice for others. On December 13 Aino, Charly and Pierre go up early on a Saturday and go to a park in Fort Lauderdale to take part in a Cub Scout "Bike-a-thon" with a local group of cub scouts. Each of the scouts got a hand written message from each of the guys written in Finnish, German or French. The efforts were much appreciated.

Getting ready

A few show up

The masses arrive!

Merry Christmas in German

Pierre and Charly sigh the kids' cards...
