Day 3

Today, I started my day with a bowl of cereal, and then fell back asleep :) At 11:15 AM, Kelsey came over and we went for a run. My showed me the way to the track and field path last night and thankfully I remembered the way, but we thought we got lost once we were in the woods on the trails, but we found out way back. 


After we finished our run, we grabbed our bikes and rode into downtown Enköping (which I'm proud to say I remembered the way to also!). We found a small cafe called Cafe Magnifik to eat lunch. We were trying to read the menu on the wall but couldn't, so I pulled out my swedish-english dictionary to at least make it seem like we were making an effort but it was useless, so we asked if they spoke English and they said yes. We both got a chicken salad and it was actually very good... the dressing I got was called "rhode island" and I'm pretty sure it was very similar to the white sauce at Miyabi's. 


Anyways, after we ate we rode back to the house (where I almost wrecked into Kelsey and knocked her into a stream) and watched TV until Karin's 9th grade class came over at 3. It's culture week at their school so they all brought over American desserts that they made, including...


blueberry tart, blueberry pie, strawberry clump cake?, chocolate chip cookies, blueberry cupcakes with lemon frosting, chocolate cupcakes with chocolate/raspberry frosting, chocolate cupcakes with chocolate/coffee frosting, vanilla cupcakes with meringue, vanilla cupcakes with some kind of frosting, brownies, strawberry/chocolate tart, and carrot cake. The blueberry tart was my favorite, it was really good. There were 24 students and around 15 different desserts. We all went outside and sat down while the different groups presented their desserts and gave us all a piece. They were cut into small pieces, but even so I tried to just take a bite of each piece. After we tried them all we voted on our favorite and the boy who made the blueberry tart decided to leave the leftovers for me since it was my favorite haha. 


I then read while waiting to go to practice (and managed to fall asleep AGAIN)... we arrived a little early to help out some girls with their hitting who had to leave before practice ended. At practice I found out I would be playing 3rd in the first game (unless the shortstop froze up and then her and I would switch positions) and I will be catching the 2nd game. So Ingrid wanted me to stay after and catch her for a little while. 


After practice we rode our bikes home and dinner was waiting for us. A tradition on Thursdays is to have pea soup and swedish pancakes. They told me to put mustard in my pea soup, and I actually really liked it. And then when I asked for the butter for my pancake they said NOOO we do not use butter on our swedish pancakes, so I had to put cream and homemade blackberry jam on my pancake and roll it up to eat it. They informed me that one day for breakfast we can have american pancakes with butter and syrup. 


So that has been my day.. I should have another eventful day tomorrow so keep checking in! :)
