It’s been well over a month since my last post, and I must say that letting this blog go untouched for such a long period of time was never my intention.
Well, my apologies.
I believe the ground that I have to cover from my last post includes the following:
- Fall Break: Trips to Brussels…
- …Prague…
- …and Berlin.
- Weekend trip to Copenhagen
These are literally the three pictures I took in Copenhagen…of the delicious pastry that I ate and the goats that lived outside my hostel. Yeah, I know, where are my priorities?
- Having mom visit!
- Trip to Växjö to trace some of the family history
Unfortunately, mom took most of the exciting pictures there, so I don’t have any. *hint hint send me your pictures mom*
- Strep throat/ear infection of doom
- Winter Break: Exploring Stockholm, Shopping, and Cooking
Spending the past week wandering the city on foot and interacting with more and more Swedes has made me start to feel (finally!) like I belong in this city. I’ve been asked for directions, to help figure out the train schedule, and to talk about the US. All in Swedish. And I’ve mostly been able to respond in Swedish—albeit, halting and broken Swedish with English occasionally mixed in. But still. It’s a start.
Honestly, I think this is the best update I can offer everybody. Summing up the past month-and-a-half in just a few paragraphs? I’m not sure that I could—or would even want to.
