A Visit from Home!

So last week, I would have to say was the best part of my exchange ever! Above... answers that why? question. My mom, brother and sister flew all the way from Nebraska into Copenhagen Denmark, to spend the week with me! I have to say after almost 8 months without them, it felt really good to huge them again!

During this week, I tried to show my family a little bit of the culture here, and also my day to day life! We took a short tour around Skåne (where I lived) I took them to the bigger city of Malmö, also the twin city to Helsingborg which is in Denmark Helsingør.

This picture was taken, while we were on the ferry (more like cruise ship my mom thought) on our way to Denmark, yes there was a fancy or elegant restaurant on this ship, where you could ' take a load off' and have a nice dinner. Ours included pea soup ( a typical swedish soup) with shrimps and lobster, our appetizer was a big variety of salmon! I think this was one of my favorite times with my family! Just as I was shocked too see how close Denmark and Sweden were, my family got to share in that amazement!
This was my family's first lunch in Sweden, and just as I did when I was first here, they wanted to 'try it all!!' So we had, TONS OF BREAD, some caviar, raw salmon, crayfish salad spread, a red beet salad spread, anchovies, big varieties of cheeses and olives. Oh, and surprisingly my mom liked the 'overly strong European coffee' Glad she got to also bring some home with here!
Oh how I had missed my mom so much, and now I miss her again, all I know is that I only have a little less than 5 months left, and I sure will enjoy what little time I have left here, and then be excited to go back home to my family... then in months to come, I will want to come BACK to Sweden! I was just glad I got to spend that week with my family! It made me happy that there first time abroad was to see me!! & I am really glad I got to show them where I have been living for the last 8 months!

Love you guys, and see you soon!
