sweet sweet sweden

Photobucketso ive been in sweden the past few weeks. got to meet alot of mikaela´s friends and family and its been helpful being able to put a face and character to match the stories she´s told. it's a very nice scenic landscape not unlike parts of canada and tasmania. im trying to to speak some of my broken swedish but everyone's english (aside from some older shop keepers and such) is really good and i think they enjoy the practice of speaking english anyway. so im getting by...
