I've cooked a nice dinner for her, she was not tired at all and just a bit hungry. I was so excited to see and feel her in my hands. The airport pick up was not easy, on wednesday i went to work and around 10:30 i left, hopped into the florist the got this red rose. (It turned to be free because the cashier did not have change so he said, it is my fault, have a great day:) Yes, we had a great day. Anyway, there was no problem with the traffic, just with the signs. I have been told to go to another terminal, because her flight was transferred there. On that other terminal they told me that no-no it was a wrong sign, go back. I lost over 30 minutes and I was afraid of missing her on the way out. And this is exactly what happened. She got me when I was looking after her. There was such a great moment to feel her arms around me.
On Friday after work we went to Charles and got the kayak and other gears (tent, kayak rack, ropes, lamp, etc.) for the weekend. Because the original plan was to go to a State Park set the tent and fish and kayak around on the sun. We also went to the Mill Pond next to the campus and put the kayak on for a test ride. We paddled way up on the small river and had a great time.
On Saturday we did a lot of things.
The weather did not look that great so I had to re-plan the whole weekend. First we went to Niantic to The book barn and then in Niantic we checked out the fish market where we had an incredible seafood platter - haddock, clam with bellies, scallops, shrimp and new england clam chowder soup.
After this we visited East Haddam (Gillette Castle State Park, castle, ice cream, fishing in the small pond)
Around 4PM we put the kayak on the sea at the Bluff Point State Park (kayaking, no swimming because of the jelly fish - we saw a ton of jelly fish)
At 9PM we arrived to the farm where Alley set up the BBQ, I don't have to say that the food was amazing. And then around 11PM we went to the Mohegan Sun Casino. I gambled and bet $5 on the slot machine, I was losing the money where Flora wanted to try and so in like two minutes she made $15.91, so we earned $10.91, she was soo lucky!
On Sunday in Bozrah we went for a boat ride where we fished from the water and swam a lot. In the afternoon James and his girlfriend arrived and we had a nice BBQ again. Then we went to the Salem Valley Ice Cream shop (Bence: red velvet, and basil; Flora: peppermint and strawberry)
Hello Flora! Smiling suspiciously behind the kayak:)
Pimped out car:) and its proud owner. This kayak actually looked great on the car! I did not even want to take it off. It earned respect on the highway too.
At the book barn, reading and picking books. Finally we bought a bunch of them for Erna, my brother, and for us. Great books at a very cheap price.
This was actually a barn and they turned it into a book store. You have the chance to look up 500.000 books in over 10 buildings and at three locations. Wonderful place. http://www.bookbarnniantic.com/
Great woman with a great car
Niantic fish market and harbor. As you can see the weather was not that shiny but it got really nice in the afternoon.
Posing outside
The seafood platter. Flora tried out every possible New England seafood variety during her stay with me. Her favorite is the scallop. Least favorite is the lobster.
On the way to the Gillette Castle we stopped by at the funky, hippy, picker shop. We dug through all the usefulness and ugly stuff until we finally found a couple of treasures.
With the treasures
Full size picture:) with less car but with still a bit of the car
Before the Gillette Castle of course we licked couple scoops of ice cream:) With Flora it is a must fun.
The Castle from inside
And from outside
The weather was terrific, remember 4 hours ago it was horrific:)
With Bence fishing is a must fun, so we fished at the Gillette castle pond where there were sings: No fishing. But on our side of the pond the sign was missing (somehow) and that is where we fished legally. Flora caught a lot of fish. We caught over 20+ and around 6+ species. Here is Flora with a catfish.

On the Bluff Point State Park
Happy Bence
We wanted to swim but look at this huge ugly jellyfish whatever, the water was full of these
We embarked on a small island and collected shells
Now this is on the farm. I like this picture a lot. It has everything I have.
Flora, family, friends, and a lot of fun.
On this photo we are collecting flowers for a refreshing lemonade with mint
While we were preparing the boat Flora caught a nice bass:) Never stop fishing!
Cruising with Jeffrey and Alley
Swimming and fishing in the water from the water. It was awesome! I literally got the fish under my leg!!!
