I'm living in...Sweden!?

Every once in a while over the past four weeks the thought has come to me...

"I'm in Sweden, what the heck?!"

It's yet to completely sink in, which is good I guess, cause I appreciate it more every time I think it to myself.

The last three weeks have been so much better than my first week here! 

I've been able to get out and explore, meet some awesome people, learn some Swedish phrases, and pretty much have to go, "English?" to anyone who tries to talk to me. 

Things about Sweden you may not have known:

-They have manpri's here... as in man-capri's. 

Whatever you're picturing in your head, it's about 5x worse

-To my calculations, about 50-60% of the people here smoke. 

The other day I was going to pick up the children from daycare and

 there were kids, like 13 or 14, taking a break from school.....smoking.. like, what?

-The public transportation is awesome.

-A lot of people wear sandals........with socks. It needs to be stopped

-Almost everything closes by 7 on weeknights, and 5 on weekends. Tis craziness

That's all I've got for now! Still no internet at our house, so I'm only able to get on sparingly.

Here are some gorgeous pictures I've taken the last few weeks. 

Haven't asked if I'm allowed to post pictures of the kids yet, so you won't get to see their cute faces until I do...if they say yes.

Hej da! (Goodbye) Said/sounds like: Hado, or Hello over-enthusiastically!
