Trip time closing, adventure continues

Time is really ticking by. Soon ill be on that uncomfortably packed plane and sweden will be but a memory. The adventure of life in new place will start.

Long time since an update, sorry.

Had a great thanksgiving in stockholm with Keri a friend from fairbanks. Actually we didnt really know each other, just a few meetings around UAF. But the comfortable feeling of being from the same place (specially a place like fairbanks, yeah) prevented alot of awkwardness. Dinner was masterfully prepared, mostly be two friends of hers (Meggan-girl from seattle and Meg- girl from canada). About 20 people crammed into a tiny appartment, many different cultures and languages swirling around the celebration of gluttony and genocide. I made an apple pie, good stuff.

In uppsala again, enjoying the gloomy doom that is the winter weather here. Havent seen the sun since i dont even remember. At least the ice that was covering everything melted away and i can again walk around confidently. Mostly i have been reading and drinking coffee, eating licorice fish. I knitted a hat, made a few prints and ate some great food at various restaurants.

My final weekend here will be spent in stockholm. Joining the stockhomies and a few friends from uppsala. Take in some shows and hit the winter bazaar.

Hope winter good out there
where ever you are
