Then it got silly. Denise, Julia, Carlos (!) and Benjamin.

The kids had a good time.

Gordon gave Dylan some advice about something.

Susi and Alison found a comfortable place to chat.

Dwight cut the "rug" with the bride.

The girls, doing a little jig (Denise won the "dance vs sit down" bet).

The next morning we said goodbye to our gracious hosts. Thanks to Juanita and Bodo for their hospitality.

Julia found that her legs are as long as Doctor Fufu's:

Shortly after take-off, we could see the coast of beautiful Newfoundland.

Mariana + Dylan: Pictures from Before the Wedding

We arrived in St-John's to the weather we expected, based on our previous trip...

But the family was there, getting ready for a big day (here we are taking a little break).

The next day, we spent some quality time with each other.

Here comes Trouble...

Susi reading to the 3 cousins.

A "simple" lunch of fish cakes, caribou steak, and other goodies.

The fiancees, and Julia.

Dylan cooked amazing meals for everyone. What's his secret? White socks with sandals?

In the back yard.

Stella & me.

The girls, getting ready for a "stagette".

(before the rest of them arrived)

The second day, more quality time.

This rocky beach is a few minutes walk from the house.

Julia, me, and Benjamin...

The boys.

Julia getting braids.

More to come...
