Well, I have been in Sweden for 2 full weeks now. Tonight marks the first time I have had a laptop with internet so far, so I am just now getting this blog up and running. You will have to bear with me as I am new to blogging. I am working on a swedish laptop and the apostrophe key is completely eluding me so I suppose I will have to break myself of the habit of using conjunctions.
Right now I am going to see if I can upload some pictures...
Aha! These are my cousins, Nicole and Paul. This was taken at Ohare airport in Chicago. Nicole just so happened to be flying home from visiting her folks in Tulsa at the same time I arrived in from Dallas (via Austin...). Paul was good enough to pick us up for dinner during my layover...
...My final stateside meal for almost 5 months. Giordanos, near the airport did the trick with a couple of beers and 2 slices of gut bomb ready to put me in a coma for my trans atlantic flight.
I managed to watch a little of the Kansas vs Memphis championship game, but by halftime, I had to board and it was off to Copenhagen.
Scandinavian air is a great airline. There are little tvs built into the back of all the seats and you can choose from a bunch of movies, music and even some vid games. I watched Sweeney Todd, and dozed on and off watching Oh brother, where art thou.
I got into Copenhagen around 1pm and met up with Frank, an ex pat himself that has been living in Sweden for 3 years now. He got me over to my hotel and ten we took a quick walking tour of downtown Malmo. We walked up to te central station where I can catch trains up to Stockholm, or across the sound to Copenhagen. We also saw Stortorget (big Square) and Lille torg (little square), along with the main shopping district.
I know I need to write more but this is about all I can manage this evening. Hopefully tomorrow will bring another update and an answer to my apostrophe catastrophe.
Nite,
Greg
