France in July 2006

  

We don't travel light!                                                                     The recording studio was hot and humid.

  

We traveled to Bourbon l'Archambault and Charroux to give concerts with the group from New Caledonia.  They also surprised Jaakko

 on his birthday and got the whole audience to sing to him in French!

  

We made friends with Colombians                                                  and Bulgarians

and donated two kanteles.  In return we received trophies and diplomas.

Afterwards we established two trophy cases at the Haapavesi junior high school in the music class.
