Today was a good day, better then the last few. Not the last few were bad or anything, they were great, today was just even better! I woke up at 9:01 and got going on my day. Breakfast, then picked up by Lenn (formerly spelt Linn, asked and found out that was the wrong spelling) at about 9:45. Went to the basketball camp for the morning session and actually had a lot of fun because we played more games and I enjoy that. Then, I went to find pizza in Örebro with Caitlin, and I am happy to report our mission was successful. We went around to a bunch of clothes stores, just looking, while we were there we asked around about good pizza. We were directed to ''Pizza Planet'' which was actuall pretty good pizza, 99 krowns and it was a buffet. We had some pizza and then went back on the shopping game and I bought my first piece of clothing that I would never buy in the U.S., a sweater. We were looking in a store when I asked for something in English from a clerk and automatically her expression brightened! She asked where we were from and we told her, she seemed so excited to talk to us and she was really outgoing! She told us that her name was Minna and she was on exchange in Canada when she was in Gymnasium. It was nice to meet someone who was actually excited to meet us, she told us that Swedish people actually, for the most part, love Americans they are just shy. We also met a guy later in another store that sort of had the same reaction to us. It was nice to get that reaction because most of the time people ask where we're from but they don't seem to excited. I then brought Caitlin home with me for dinner and we had a delicious vegetarian style dish. After the healthy meal Andreas said something about going on a run and that idea really excited Caitlin so we, Andreas, Caitlin and I, went on a 5.6 kilometer run in the nature reserve by our house. 5.6 kilometers is about 3.5 miles and I surprised myself by running the whole way without stopping, I am proud of that! Caitlin then went home and I chilled out for a little while and then remembered that my mom put a little note in my suitcase that told me about a meteor shower happening wednesday to saturday! Therefore, I eagerly went outside to look at the sky and, it's nothing like Lakeview. I could see stars but I live very close to a large city and it just isn't very many stars, I stayed outside for a while to let my eyes adjust. I realized that I could just barely see some shooting stars, I enjoyed that for a little bit and thought about all the good times I have had in my life watching shooting stars. All in all a great, great day!
P.S. This is the sweater that I would never buy in the States. I forgot to talk about it but when me and Caitlin got back to the house the icecream man came by in his truck and Ingela asked us if we wanted to go! (in the picture is Caitlin, The Icecream Man, and Me)
A picture with the Ice Cream Man! too funny! :)
