Scones & Dinner Parties

Day 12 Aug. 22 Two days ago we all went to have fika with Veronica because she was getting ready to leave. She is going to Greece for a week with a friend! Lucky, lucky, lucky :) Sometime in the future I want to go to Greece as well. Veronica let me borrow two books with very easy sentences (in Swedish of course) so that I could practice my Swedish.

     Yesterday, was a good day. Lars, my rotary couselor in Sweden stopped by to say hello. I will be going with him on Monday to my first Swedish rotary meeting. I will also be going to my new school, Olympia to find out which program I will be doing and to take a tour of the school. Lars also invited me to a dinner party for that evening, a chance for me to meet two Australian girls that are also exchange students here. ----Before I went out... Emilia and I made my mamaa's scones. Birgitta, Paul, and Emilia enjoyed them. Which was good, since to be honest it was only my second time making them, and I am not the expert, my mamaa is. -----So that evening I went to the dinner party, and had a great time. I met Sarah and Tiegan the Australian exchange students, their host families, Sarah's parents, and Tiegan's mom, oh yes and Lars's family as well. All wonderful people. Although I did not know anyone there, except Lars (whom I had only met that day), I felt like everyone was very welcoming. Eveyone asked questions, told stories, laughed, and enjoyed the evening.
     Today, we might go out to a park and have a picnic, if the weather permits
