Happy Thanksgiving!

I am a few days late on this but i figured better late than never.
So, Wednesday the family got here, it was great to see their smiling faces as i met them at the airport and after we hugged we were off, and didn´t stop until they left at 4:30 on Sunday morn. We had Wednesday night and at 6:00am on Thursday we were on the train to Stockholm. We had really nice weather (well, sunny and a bit chilly) and enjoyed the day walking around and enjoying the city. We stopped for lunch at a little cafe and as my dad paid the bill the waiter wished him a Happy Thanksgiving! it was a nice reminder of the holiday that was being celebrated back home. We ended the day by getting back onto the train at about 8:00pm and got back to Göteborg at a little after 11:00, we were all very exhausted.
Friday started out with breakfast at my place. I drove the rental car over to get my parents from the Jannerlands, where they were staying. oh, and driving was pretty fun, i havent done that in 2 months! Aaron joined us for breakfast and we all had a nice relaxing start to the day. After breakfast we stopped by the church so i could show them where i have been working and they were also to meet a few of the folks i spend so much time with in the office. We toured Göteborg for the rest of the day and ended by going to Liseberg, which is decorated for Christmas this time of year.
Saturday we took a boat to the island Hönö and checked out a Christmas market that they have every year, it was quite nice. We ended the day with dinner at the Jannerlands house and then made Fiskebäcksbröd (Fiskebäcks = the town/area. bröd = bread.) At about 10:30 a few people started arriving for fika. more and more people kept coming and then a little before 11, Aaron and Stina came to celebrate the end of their "Aaron and Stina day" aka 6 month anniversary of dating. However it wasn't long before Aaron began to tell the story of the day and how he picked Stine up at 4:30 am and then took her to Venice, Italy for the day. while there, he proposed to her and she said, "yes". So the little fika that the Jannerlands thought they were having was actually a mini engagement party, it was a lot of fun!
The night ended around 12:30 and my family left after a few hours of sleep and went on their way to a day in Amsterdam.
I called them at 1:15am on Monday morning to make sure they got home ok and everything was good. I was exhausted and went to bed.
Good Times.

Where am I?

Last night as Andrew and I were waiting at the bus stop I heard something coming down the street. Normally just hearing something coming would not catch my attention since there are many cars, buses and other vehicles here, however this sound was different. All of a sudden from around the corner I saw a 4-wheeler/atv (whatever you want to call it) ..zz....z......zzz........ ooh, i just fell asleep for 5 minutes, too bad since it is 11:00 am..... ok, umm..... where was i? .....aw, yes. Depending on where you live this might not be an abnormal sight, but when we were standing at a busstop in downtown Göteborg and the only street that went past us was an entrance ramp to the freeway, I was really surprised! What kind of place do I live in? 4-wheelers on the freeway!? now that is just a little crazy.
