Cool American "Doritos" they tasted good but I don't think they were legit Doritos, hard to tell

Göteborg, model size!

The "eye" or in Svenska "gö"

So, Göteborg. Well lets see, I had a really fun time and now I am totally broke :) those are the best weekends! Haha. My adventure all started on Friday at 6 in the morning, I had to be on my train at 7:10 so I woke up at 6 and got my day going! Andreas gave me a ride to the train station and that was nice because I then I didn't have ride the bus at 6:30. I did this whole trip on my own too, by the way. It was a three hour train ride there and it was really pretty because the morning was just getting up, there was mist and dew everywhere and the sun had just risen, beautiful. Once I got to the train station I got a big hug from Kendra, she was happy to see me and I was happy to see here, she's from home and I'm from her home. Familiarity is a great thing to have sometimes. I learned in Stockholm that you need to have a good way of riding the busses and such, therefore I bought a bus card for the weekend. It was 200 krowns for the whole weekend but in the end it was worth it because I knew it would work all the time. Kendra and I went for a fika first and walked around the city a little bit then went to her house to drop my stuff off. I had fun touring her house, her bathroom had automatic everything, when you walked in the lights just came on by themselves, that was really awesome. One of her friends, Zara, came over and hung out with us, and she was really nice. I met her host family and they were really, really nice, especially her host mom. After that we just chilled at the house for a few hours. We ate Kebab pizza that was really delicious, the sauce reminded me of ranch and it was just total amazing-ness in my mouth. After dinner we went to the city and walked around with some of her friends, lots of fun, Göteborg is cool on a Friday night. We slept in on Saturday and when we woke up we had the house to ourselves, so what did we do? We raided the kitchen and made ate a super yummy breakfast. Oh yes, a good breakfast satisfies on any continent. Kendra had peanut butter so we made little PB&J sandwitches. We started watching some stupid movie and then I started bugging Kendra about going somewhere, after a few minutes she gave in and we headed to the city. We went in search of the ship Göteborg. We did not see the ship Göteborg. We went to where the ship used to be and then found out that it was in a new place about 40 minutes away and it was only open till 3 and at that point it was about 2:15, we didn't even try. Instead, we went to another place that a nice young lady recommended for us tourist types, a beautiful old castle type building on top of a big hill where you could see a good view of the city. That was also an adventure trying to find but, eventually, we found it and had a nice little, "WOW" moment. We ended up finding an awesome bakery right as it was closing and we got what they were famous for, a gian cinnamon roll. We went back to eat dinner with Kendra's host family and then headed to a friend of Kendra's, William. William was a really nice guy and we hit it off pretty good. All the times that I am saying we went to the city or we went anywhere those times are 40 minute spans of travel. Kendra lives about 15 minutes by car but about 40 minutes by bus from the city so we spent a lot of time on the bus. Sunday went about the same as Saturday, woke up and ate and packed up all our my stuff. I was trying to leave the house by 1 because my bus for Örebro left at 1:55 but, that didn't happen we left at 1:10ish and due to that I almost missed my bus. We missed a bus change by like five minutes and there was no way I could have made it if I waited for the bus, I called Kendra's parents and luckily they were nice enough to pick me up and give me a ride to the city, I got there with a solid 5 minutes to spare. If I would have missed that bus I would have gotten home at about midnight just because of how the busses work. I got home at 6 and just chilled at home, I brought Robin and Oliver, some friends over to meet Andreas and Ingela. It went good and I think my parents liked them!!

All in all a great, great weekend where I spent tons and tons of money on food. I don't regret it though it was a lot of fun!
