Hello friends and families!
This weekend was our scheduled free-time away from classes to explore Sweden as much as we wanted! A few of us decided to go back to Stockholm for a day to see more of the city. We spent a lot of our time eating good food and exploring beautiful streets in Gamla Stan (the old city), while also searching up and down for a good thrift store (we found a few…). Additionally on our way to dinner we stumbled upon a pro-Palestine protest, featuring Greta Thunberg! After we saw that, we had dinner at a fantastic ramen place, and then returned home to Väddö.

On our second free day we opted for a more laid back day in and around the folk school. A few of us visited a local farm for lunch. Later, for dinner we gathered as a group to have a Smorgasbord (traditional Swedish meal consisting of a variety of hot
and cold meats, hors d’oeuvres, etc.) dinner, which ended up being a huge success!
