Time Flies

It's been over a week since my last post - time is flying by so quickly! So, here's a quick recap...



1. We lost another Ekebyan
2. I made a Swedish kladdkaka
3. A visiting friend arrived from the US
4. It hailed in Uppsala... twice
5. I was sick and had a fever of 38C (the Celsius thermometer that I used to measure it was quite difficult to use too)
6. I ended my last class, but still have to write a few papers that I'm not excited about
7. Went to Stockholm



Now, a few photos to accompany the recap and some others just for fun!

Uppsala is very green Gröna Lund - an amusement park in Stockholm - Justin and my Uncle are at the top of this thing in the picture

The Vasa - a salvaged Viking ship from the 1600s

The Royal Palace in Stockholm The remaining Ekeby kids

Swedish high school graduates celebrating in the back of a truck More grads dancing in the fountain at Sergels Torg
And lots of people watching the crazy kids in the fountain An accident?

The countdown has officially started until I head home to Texas. The next few days will be spent going to Skokloster castle on a ferry, having a formal dinner in Ekeby, watching the Stockholm marathon, saying goodbye to one visitor, writing and finishing papers for my last class, welcoming two more visitors, and soaking up every last second I can spend with my friends in Uppsala and family in Stockholm. Vi ses!
