August 9, Monday

    Unfortunately, Therese had to work, so she couldn’t spend the day with us. But we headed out with her around lunchtime to explore on our own. Goteborg is a lovely city, full of nice neighborhoods and parks. In the evening, Therese and Ola cooked us a tasty Swedish meal and we sat around chatting for hours.

August 10, Tuesday

    We had to leave the house at 9: 00 am. We caught the train to the ferry station to go to the city, where we ate fast food in order to get some work done. We explored Goteborg a bit more. The evening was full of South and Central American food—pepper, Roasted Garlic, Argentinian wine and mustard.

August 11, Wednesday

    As always, it was a rush to get out of the house in time, and in our haste we left our beloved coffee machine behind. We caught the train to Stockholm. We stayed with Niklas, who we met in Lithuania in 2007. We went for a walk in the forest after dinner.

August l2, Thursday

    Niklas doesn’t have the Internet at home and we couldn’t really work there, so instead we headed into his office for the morning. We worked hard until lunch and then went to see Stockholm. We met Ulrike, a friend of Niklas’. In the evening, we went for another walk in the forest—it’s so good to be hiking again!

August 13, Friday

    We left Niklas’ place and managed to catch the bus which took us to the city center. Our host Benny met us at the station and took us for a long walk after dinner. Since it got dark at about 11：00 p.m., we could stay out as we wanted. We are leaving tomorrow. I really had a great time in Sweden.
