bi-lingual. It is too bad about not learning Finnish when you were a wee one. It would be so easy at that stage of life.

When I lived in San Diego and started to learn Espanol after the age of 40 and I was so proud of it! When I moved to Colorado, Kaua'i, New York and back again to Kaua'i.. I lost much of what I had learned. Now, I'm practicing again with this Latino kid who just moved here from San Diego!

1/2 Viking! Yes, I now understand your handle So what kind of food does your culture favor in America?
