Greetings from Barcelona! Got here last night after 5 days in Sweden! Monday we went to a dinner party at Daniel's friends house which was really fun. I got to meet and talk to a lot of people who were so nice and they all spoke english since I was around to make me feel welcomed.. Their parties are much different than ours in the states that's for sure! Tuesday we travled to 2 cities, Lund and Malmo. Lund is a small mainly student city which basically shuts down during the summer because the population decreases so much without the students there. Daniel had studied there before he came to the states to study. Then we went to Malmo that same day which is one of Swedens bigger cities. We realized there was a profssional soccer game going on that night so we got tickets and went. It was the 100 year anniversary of this team being created so they gave us all these huge blue and white flags to wave and the fans were just crazy! Everyone was singing and chanting and the team ended up winning 3-0 so everyone was very happy.
Wednesday we went to Copenhagen, Denmark since it is so close to where he lives in Sweden. We took the ferry over which reminded me of how people take the ferry from the cape to the islands.. Copenhagen was awesome! it was bigger than I thought and very beautiful. We walked around the whole city and went to Nyhvn which is a famuos street on the harbor which has all these beautiful buildings all painted different colors. Then we went to see the palace where the King and Queen lives and we got a little surprise when we got there.. there was a parade going on with the Danish army in their big furry hats (think of the guards in London) they marched and played some cool music, we watched them for a while. Then we went and saw the famous statue of the little mermaid which is something Copenhagen is famous for. It was beautiful and we took a lot of pictures. Later we went to this Ice Bar which is all made of ice! Its owned by Absolute vodka and you pay money to get in and you get these huge jackets and gloves to keep you warm because the walls, charis, bar, and glasses are all made of ice.. it was quite the experience! we couldnt stay long obviously we were freezing!
Thursday we just stayed around Helsingborg, where Daniel lives and us and one of his friends went to the beach and this lighthouse.. it was so beautiful! I dont have any pictures right now because im using a piblic computer in my hostel so i cant post pictures until I get back to Salzburg next week.. But yeah then we made tacos that night and went to see Alice in Wonderland in 3D.. which was awesome, I highly recommend it! So Friday morning I flew out of Copenhagen to Barcelona, which is where I am now! I just got back from a boat tour and laying on the beach for a couple hours! Will post more about Barcelona when I get to Italy.. leaving early Monday morning for Rome! Love and miss you all so much.. sorry about the pictures!!
