Stockholm {My Swedish Family}
Brian and I just got back from one of the best weekends we've had in Europe, in Stockholm. It's hard to say anything bad about it. We spent our days biking, picnicking, admiring the views and enjoying the sun. But I'll get to all that later. This was actually my 3rd trip to Sweden. My first trip was way back in 1996, I was 14 and my soccer team traveled to Europe to play tournaments in Denmark, Sweden and Germany. In Sweden, we stayed with host families, which were the families of the local team our age. We were a few hours north of Stoc kholm in Borlänge. My Swedish Family - Britt, Ida, and Shell Let's just say, I got lucky. The family I stayed with was the best. They took me in, showed me around Borlänge, cooked the most amazing Swedish Pancakes for me (twice! I liked them that much), let me borrow a bike, and made me feel very welcome. They even let me eat with them, so I didn't have to eat the cafeteria...
