Frimurarhotellet Bollnäs

Wow. What a fantastic day. Everyone was so excited to play for our host families and alumni of UWP! It would be our first show of the kind since Mexico - playing for our host families. Singing our songs and spreading our message of peace and hope to families and friends with whom we have connections and relationships was great. Now, don't get me wrong. I love playing for ...

... of that!

And then dessert. Oh my. I will certainly be surprised if my show costume fits tomorrow. We had baked apple mounds with cinnamon and a homemade vanilla creme.

I died and went to heaven!

We enjoyed the rest of the evening conversing around a candle-lit table and drinking hot chocolate. It was a wonderful evening and I will truly miss this host family when I leave on Tuesday.

Tomorrow is our ...

Were back in Sweden! It is so great to have running water, hot water and water with some preasure once more! Who would have thought that one could became so attached to water! hahahaha Now we are slowly going through all of the photos that we took on the trip... there is 18GB worth of RAW material, and I know that if I want to keep you all as friends I need to give you the 'best of'... So have a look at some old entries ...

So we are finnaly on the move... I picked up my Swiss visa this morning after a nail biting finish to the entire ordeal. We are flying out from Stockholm tonight, and the visa was ready yesterday! Talk about cutting it fine, ontop of everything the embassy closes at ...

I wanted to add some pics of some funny signs from Sweden... Some of them are just plain confusing with all of the different characters and words, others are plain funny (like the car driving into the sea!) I still havent got a moose sign, but I will try to get one before I leave for Paris...

... a work permit, yet! Bloddy work visas will be the end of me... I always have a pain with my american visa, and it looks like the Siwss have come to the party... in all fairness the embassy here in Stockholm have been really cool, they even let me use their toilet last time I was there! (Un heard of if you have ever been inside an American Embassy!) Anyways that my big drama for the next 72 hours... Will we fly? or not??? Stay tunned

Do you remember in the movie Pulp Fiction, when Travolta is talking about the differences between France and the USA and how he describes it as the little things... in France they put mayonaise on their french fries, you can buy a beer at McDonalds etc etc etc So this reminded me of that... A few signs that I see around the place, and Ill add more as I get them... Enjoy CP

So what is the differance between a Kilometer, Mile and a Swedish Mile (SM)??? The first two should be pretty easy, but as I found out, the last one is something that I had never heard of before... A Swedish Mile is equivalent to 10km (or about 6.2 normale miles for you non metric people)... On the weekend Helena wanted to bike around the lake in which her parents house overlooks, she told me ...

Hej Hej, (swedish for hey hey) Everything is going well, last night we went for a short hike and slept in a cabin in the woods, It was only about 90 minutes walk from Helenas house, up and old logging road and then through a small path in the woods... once at the cabin we realised we didn't have any house keys so with the little ...

I am still here, thanks for everyone who wrote to me and sorry I haven't had a chance to write back... I am running on a dial up connection and Helena and I can only log in once in a while... We are in Kilafors in the North of Sweden and although they consider this 'middle' Sweden we are already ...
