Hej hej!
Well, last night we went out dancing together. It was great fun! :) I was really tired, though, so I didn't stay out too late.
Today, I wandered around by myself for most of the day. I ate at this teahouse that is built above street level. There were all kinds of trees and plants up there, and the weather was gorgeous. I ate outside, and enjoyed my sandwhich and tea. I then went to a tea shop (it's all about the tea, isn't it? :). They had all kinds of loose-leaf tea, and it was fairly cheap. I then wandered around for a bit. I came across a sort of fashion show set up in the square. That was really interesting. I also found a pharmacy (which is apotokek in Swedish), but they weren't able to help me with what I needed. I also went to the grocery store to pick some things for a salad. Then, Julie and I went to listen to music at the cathedral. I thought it was going to be organ music, but it ended up being a small a cappella choir. They had about 15 men and women, and they were amazing! They did some interesting songs with unusual rhythms, playing a lot with harmony and disonance. Their voices melded well together.
Tonight, I cooked dinner and will just be hanging out around the room. I am tired, and we are going on an excursion tomorrow with the summer school program. I don't know what we will be doing, but it's supposed to be really good.
Anyway, I love you all and miss you!

Looks like a little more fun today. Glad to see it. All work and no play will wear on your nerves. Anxious to see some pics. Glad the weather is nice there. 90's and 70's here. Keep those blogs coming :-).

A cappela can sound awesome if done right. Lucky you to have heard them.
