Day 5, January 5th










Today Kelsey and I managed to successfully take the Swedish bus alone! Once we got off the bus our true adventure began. Our day started with Kelsey falling infront of everyone on the bus! After recovering from her fall we took out our map and were on our way to find Orebro Lansmuseum (this is a Swedish museum of History). We walked and walked for quite awhile until we finally gave up and called Kelsey's cousin for help. Once Sara (Kelsey's cousin) came out and took a look at our map we realized that we had been walking for an hour in the complete opposite direction that we should have been. Thanks to getting lost though we were able to take many beautiful pictures of the city. We made it to the museum and we were able to learn some Swedish history and see some of the clothing worn. It was a small museum but we enjoyed it very much because it was very different from the museums that we are used to in America. After leaving we walked back to the bus and once again successfully made it back home, but this time no one fell! We then got back to the house and warmed up along with changed our clothing to be more suitable for a nice dinner. We met up with Kelsey's cousin Sara and some of her friends for dinner at Sara's apartment. Dinner was particularly interesting and entertaining! We had pizza, but it was very different from pizza back home. Here they don't cut your pizza for you so instead we use siccors to cut your pizza, very interesting but it worked extremely well!! That night we tried to learn some more Swedish words along with teaching Sara and her friends some more English. We were able to learn Vi hoppas which means we hope!
