Göteborg

Yesterday my host family took me to Götoeborg! It was a great trip (although involved getting up at 5:30 for the 4.5 hr car ride there... which I promptly slept through...). We started out at the aquarium / zoo and then shopped downtown for a bit before hitting the main attraction of the day - LISEBERG! (the amusement park). Later in the evening I had my first Swedish Chinese food (which isn't quite the same but close enough : )) After our long day we drove back and got home to Eskilstuna at about 4 am!


'The Rollercoaster' (the world's biggest wooden rollercoaster). Yes, I did go on it of course : ) and it was soo much fun!






This is just a sign I saw while walking through downtown Göteborg.















The skyline of the city (notice how there aren't any really tall buildings)

This is Caroline and I outside the amusement park.















Today I plan on making peanut butter cookies (with our newly purchased mini-jar of skippy) or chocolate chip cookies. It'll be my first baking attempt in Sweden so wish me luck!

Sounds like you are having a great time Claire! The pictures are beautiful - love the architecture. You'll have to bring back the recipe for the banana pizza!
