Sweden, Sushi & Skating!


Hi and Happy Mandag fra København!

This weekend was amazing for many reasons, but first and foremost, 3 days of SUN!

Saturday, Emily and I decided it was time to see what Sweden had to offer. We heard that it was an easy trip, but after a 25 minute train ride we realized they weren't exaggerating.

Welcome to Malmö! 
 




After glancing at the map and not really understanding anything we decided to just venture in a random direction and see where we ended up. We found a street that led us past the beautiful Town Hall and eventually to a cobblestone walking street lined with shopping and cute cafes.

A large square among the walking streets

We followed the sound of music and came upon this street performer who ingeniously engineered a one man band machine of sorts. Each foot controlled a different sounding drum on his back, he played the accordian with his hands and then could blow into another instrument. We were impressed, and he gathered a huge crowd!



After a little shopping we found a quaint cafe called Café Mäster Hans and got some tea and a snack

We saw many buildings like this one that differed a lot from architecture in Copenhagen

Canals ran through part of the city and reminded us of Nyhavn in Copenhagen

Back in Denmark

To continue the great day, we decided to treat ourselves to Sushi for dinner back in Copenhagen. It was amazing!


yummmmm

Sunday, we had a dorm bonding activity at a local ice skating rink. It was a very cute outdoor rink in our neighborhood and we could not believe how lucky we were to have our 3rd day of sun in a row! (never thought I could get so excited about the weather before I came to Denmark)

Here are some pictures of our day..

Beautiful Day

First sign of water on the lakes...spring soon!? We can only hope

Hope you enjoyed hearing about my Swedish excursion. Planning a trip to the modern art museum this week, so I'll post about that soon.

Hi Hi and Godnat!
