This was a fun thing to do. Caitlen, the girl here on Rotary exchange from Kansas, and I decided, with Andreas' good suggestion, that we would go to Gustavsvik (means Gustav's bay) today. We started off by meeting in the center of town at the tallest building and small indoor mall. That was an adventure for me because I was all by myself for really the first time since I've been here. I got to the building ok, it was about a fifteen minute bike ride so I was quite proud of myself. I think I look very Swedish because when I was waiting for Caitlen I had a man ask me for directions in Swedish I responded ''Sorry, I don't speak Swedish.'' He nicely said ''Oh, you are a... Thank you''. After I got together with Caitlen we found Gustavsvik quite easily. Gustavsvik is the largest indoor waterpark in Scandenavia! It had five different slides (haha), a little small compared to other water parks I have been to in the States. We had a lot of fun there though, it cost 110 Krowns (about 16 dollars). There was a big tower to jump off of and we decided to hit that up second, go big or go home, it's a long flight home. The tower is 10m tall and we were both pretty proud to tell our families we did it. After we were done there I went to see Caitlens house and then we went to experience Max, a swedish competetor to McDonalds. The food was pretty good and a little better quality then McD's. Then we went to my house to hang out for a little while. We decided that when we were there that we needed to experience some Swedish candy so we went to a large grocery store near my house and got a bunch of different candy out of one of those big bin things. All in all it was a 25o Kronor day. After that my family went to Andreas' best friend house for a bbq. His best friend has two sons born '93 and '95. It was fun to talk to them and we walked around downtown for a little while and played pool at a local gaming place. Today was fun and I gained a better sense of direction in Örebro!!
