A couple of years ago I visited my relatives in Vancouver, Canada. Even though I spent less than a week there, I fell in love with the area! No wonder; after a scorching hot summer in Mobile, AL, I flew over the beautiful Rockies into the luscious west part of B.C. with its green mountains and blue waters. I hadn’t seen my relatives for more than 10 years, but they gave me a warm welcome and showed me around.
Back to the present. This week one of my dad’s cousins from Vancouver and her husband came to visit us here in Trondheim. They’d had two weeks of rain in the Baltic sea, Denmark and the southern part of Norway, but were greeted by the sun here in Trondheim. They stayed at my parents house, but I took a couple of days off work so that I could try to return some of the hospitality they had showed me.
E and I prepared dinner for them Tuesday night after my mom and dad had picked them up in Bergen (a two-day drive from here). Wednesday evening we went for dinner at our local tower restaurant with a view of the whole city and the surrounding mountains and fjord. Thursday we had an early lunch at my aunt and uncle’s house, followed by a get-together with several of my cousins, my dad’s cousins and my second cousins. Friday I actually went to work. Today was the last day before the Canadians return home, and we had a dinner at my parents’ house. We even watched 9-milimeter movies from when I was 5 years old – hilarious 
The result of this very pleasant visit was that I even more than before would like to go on vacation to the US. And while I’m there, revisit Vancouver. All I have to do now is save up the money
