March 6, 2008: Gothenburg, Sweden Bright flecks of light shimmered off the water in my glass--clean, clear tap water. The tap water in Sweden tasted better than any I'd had back home. I examined the water carefully but could see no special properties. Even though my conclusion proved the contrary, I still clung to the belief that there must be something in the water in Sweden. Every time I turned a corner, shifted my view, or sneezed, there was another beautiful woman. They seemed to spring from the ground and swarm the streets like urban locusts (although beautiful women are a decidedly better swarm than are locusts). Surprisingly enough, Henrik didn't have to resort to stripping down naked and running laps around the town singing "I Feel Pretty" to get my attention. A few air horn ... read more

It’s impossible for me to compare my experiences in Sweden to anything else I’ve ever felt in my life, because to do so would be presenting a non-truthful perspective. For me this trip was a homecoming: As I went through the security checkpoint at Dulles International my mother said, “Now you’ll see if this is what you really want to do. Now you’ll know if you really want to move”. And when I was looking back at tram stop at Frölunda Torg I was already certain of where I want to be, and of where I belong. There have been many milestones in my life, but I don’t think any can measure up to my going to Sweden - it was a trip of many firsts for me. The first time I went abroad alone, bought ... read more

We've had our first guests and not only survived, but thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! The summer of 1982 was significant for me, it was the year I got to know "a foreigner". That's big stuff coming from a small town. Sure, we had an exchange student when I was three, but I barely remember Caesar Gomez. Ingrid Andenaes was my first foreign friend, and she was exotic in all her tall, Nordic beauty. Time is irrelavent when you're 13. I didn't remember how many days Ingrid and I spent together that summer, I just remember that we met at the swimming pool in Howard one day and we spent the rest of the time swimming, riding horse and just being kids that carefree South Dakota summer. Ingrid taught me that there were 3 extra letters in the ... read more

I'm a 39 year old mother of three...how can I be bored? Well, just take away the house, the car, the job the friends, school sports, the commitments and you've got the perfect recipe for boredom...and nice fingernails. For the first time in my life, my fingernails are strong, long and pretty. I'd rather have them stubby and peeling if it meant I was refinishing an old piece of furniture. I can just hear you now, "oh poor Maria, time on her hands, nothing to do", all said in a sarcastic tone as you race out the door to get the kids here or there, thinking, "what will we have for dinner tonight?", or "how will I get the dog to the groomer?". When we're in the midst of our crazy busy lives, it's easy to ... read more

Well, here starts our first real travel news. As per usual, nothing ever goes right on our trips. If it is not a natural disaster, it is man made disaster. Today, it's man made! All was going well, Lars droped us off at the airport in plent time to get stuff sorted out. When we looked at the board the first thin we see is "Flight to Frankfurt is canceled". Great start. But, look again, it is the earl flight, we were on the next one! Anyway, we are told, no worries, all is ok, our flight is good to go! So we wait in the departure loung and see our plane come in. All is good, we are good to go! NOT! We we wait a while then we are told that the engine is ... read more

Ok, so we are in the last day of august, we got some news. I'm writing in english, in this way everybody understands, but i'm sorry for the mistakes. anyways, a lot of news in my Swedes life. I went to stockholm, and it's really a wonderful city, i completely fell in love with Stockholm. It's built up on some islands, so you can see the sea everywhere, and you smell the typical sea fragrance, and i love it. And it's more similar to a big city, with metro ,adn a lot of traffic and ecc ecc. I think that i prefer it to Göteborg. And i went there with lucia, boby, pierrick, Therese and Jana, and there we met Lucia's brother and his sweidsh girlfriend, who carried us to the north of stockholm, with the ... read more
