Jake & Rana

Our friends Jake and Rana made the two hour drive from Mora, Minnesota to see us. Rana is Turkish. Jake is American. They met and fell in love and lived in Turkey for many years. That is where we met them. When we moved to the Azores, they moved to America. How wonderful to see a dear friend. Maybe the world isn't as big as it feels to me sometimes afterall.

Jake and Rana spent the night in Rochester. We had Indian food with them on Friday night and then on Saturday, gave them a tour of the Mayo buildings and then let the kids play at the mall.

That kid play area in the mall is awesome. We used to take the boys to the mall (mainly in the winter)just so they could play there. Boy would they have fun. It was a sad day when they were too tall to go in there anymore. But they still would ride the coin operated rides that are there.
