A multi-national and autumn-themed update.

Well, all kinds of things have happened since returning from London, so here comes a conglomeration of descriptions accompanied by a media dump! On Sunday, I FINALLY made it into Sweden, making it my third country in a three-day period (quite an accomplishment, but it's SERIOUSLY about time I went to Sweden. It's essentially closer to Copenhagen than is the rest of Denmark!). We took a ferry into Helsinborg, and, even though we went on a Sunday forgetting that Scandinavia is basically CLOSED on Sundays, we managed some good shopping, GREAT eating and a lovely afternoon (I just googled "Helsinborg" to make sure I was spelling it right, and saw a description saying the city "sparkles like a pearl in the sun" - sums it up quite well, as it's right on the water and is just lovely all around!).

Someone's being a goofball on the ferry!

Sweden is full of cute things like THIS.

Snuggling with the SERIOUSLY YUMMY dessert. In Sweden.

 

There are hearts EVERYWHERE in Sweden.

These past few days have been sunny, crisp and fall-like. It's hard to experience the colorful changing leaves in the city center, so Sarah and I have spent quite a bit of time in this park over the past two days:

 

 We also were able to SNEAK PEAK into the ZOO next door :)

There's a zebra in there!

Possibly my favorite aspect of going to this park: the dogs! SO MANY DOGS! There are dogs on leashes, off leashes, chasing frisbees, chasing each other, or walking nicely with their owners. It's just the best!

AHH :)

This is absolutely my favorite place to get my "autumn fix" thus far, and I will certainly be returning as frequently as possible as long as it's pretty outside :)

In other, less fortunate news, these next few weeks I'll actually have to WORK hard! :( I get the impression that the teachers try and cram the majority of their assignments in before our travel break (beginning in just a few weeks! AH!), which makes for a hectic few weeks in October. Anyway, there's all kinds of fun stuff happening later this week, so check back!

Hej Hej! Farvel! Vi Ses! Goodbye!
