Hello from Sweden!

Sorry for the short message last time. We left our dear friend Per this morning and took the train to a little town called Trollhattan, on our way to Oslo. I probably didn't do Copenhagen justice, with all we saw there. We got heaps of photos, so hopefully Alison will sort out the url soon so you can all see them. Got a photo of Hans Christian Anderson's grave, btw, so I can now say I saw Jim Morrison, and Hans. They have so much to do with each other, don't they?

Copenhagen is a lot like Pleasantville, with it's cuteness, clean streets, and overall friendly, middle class population. Dad's prevailed with pushing around baby carriages all over the city. I
saw at least 10 dads to every 1 mom with babies in tow. Also got a Hash shirt to add to the collection with Copenhagen's theme song written on the back (world-wide running club, for those of you who don't have a clue what the Hash House Harriers are). I also want to add I love the comments so many of you respond back to me. I'm not ignoring you, just don't have the time anymore to respond back individually. It's very comforting to hear back from you all though
so please feel free to keep writing.

Trollhattan was Alison's idea. It's very small and quiet, and the only internet access is in the library here. I am hoping to check out some cool stuff tomorrow though, like the waterfalls and the lock system waterways on the canal. At least we can easily walk from one end to the other without getting pooped out. The hostel is very quaint (and dirt cheap Kris!!! heheh).

The days are very long now, as we make our way up North. It didn't get dark until 11pm last night.

Well, that's long enough for you all to read. Oh, for those of you who are sooooo concerned about my plans for grad school. I am still going back, just deferred until next May. Please don't worry about me!

Love always, Carla
