Soo...I took a weekend trip to Sweden and Denmark, I never thought that would happen! It was a lot of travel time, but it was definitely worth it. We went to Malmo Sweden on Saturday and explored the city. We didn't really have a plan so we just wandered around and saw the sites. i had the best meal EVER! The hotel recommended this restuarant for traditional Swedish food and it was amazing! After dinner we went out on a pier and watched the sunset over the Baltic Sea-unreal. It was so peaceful and yet surreal because I never thought I would be doing something like that.
The next morning we went to Copenhagen (only a 30 min train ride from Malmo). Copnehagen is beautiful! The harbor is so cool to see, all the old boats, that are what you think about when you picture Copenhagen. I definitely want to go back to that city, it was gorgeous and I am sure there is a ton more to do than I got to.
My wheelchair was essential for this trip. We did so much walking on this trip that I would have been exhausted if I wouldn't have had and my group would have been upset for having to wait that long. All the guys took turns wheeling me around and it actually worked out really well. My wheelchair does not have shocks so cobblestone is interesting to say the least. My wheelchair is not the smoothest ride I have every had but it definitely helped.
I get my stitches out today, which is another step in the right direction! My walking cast helps a lot and I am hoping that I can start putting some weight on my foot soon. I will let you know if anything exciting happens! Have a great day!

P.S. Can someone tell Grandpa Arneson that I have found too things that he would love. Walnut ice cream (similar to maplenut) is amazing. I get it everyday at school, a little excessive but oh well and I have lingenberries in my cereal and they are really good too. He always asks us if we have lingenberries, so tell them that I have tried them and I really like them! Thanks!

I am so jealous of your travels! How exciting. :) If you want more lingenberries when you get back to the states, there is a B & B in Duluth that makes amazing waffles with lingenberries (or so Megs tells me).
ReplyDeleteSide note: I've been watching Rick Steve's Best of Europe DVDs (he's a guy on PBS that does a travel show). At the end of each episode he says, "Until next time, keep on traveling."
So, until next time, keep on traveling. :)
Hey Kay! Sounds like the travels are going well. Copenhagen is a beautiful city. Were you surprised by how small the Little Mermaid is? She keeps an eye on the harbor though. Love your posts:)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you're doing this blog. I tend to get some details that we just can't seem to cover in our hour long skype calls! :)
