At long last...


I'm safely in Sweden after roughly 15 hours of airports and airplanes. I arrived around 7:30am Swedish time which is around 12:30am Alabama time. I got a good 6 hours of sleep in the past two days and I feel great! All day I've been touring Uppsala Sweden with Filippa. I never imagined a place could be this beautiful. It's truly amazing. Today I went to the largest cathedral in scandanavia, seen the silver bible, and seen so many new things. I ate lunch with Filippa and her family. I've never had swedish food and I'm a very picky eater, but it was really good. I enjoyed my meal. I also "fika" today for the first time, fika is basically where you get a coffee, beverage, or food at a coffee shop and talk to your friends while you eat. It was a lot of fun. Tomorrow I'm going to Stockholm for the day, I'm riding on my first city bus and my first train. I'm extremely excited about doing all three things. I'm really looking forward to the rest of my trip, it's going to be an amazing experience.
