Day 24

Today was a very long day, but very fun! This morning I woke up at 8 to have breakfast and workout on the elliptical for 45 minutes. Then, as soon as I was done, My and I biked over to the small gravel field about a minute away to meet Kelsey so she could help My with her pitching while I caught. We did that for an hour, and then biked back to the house. 

I had to shower and get ready, and then grab a quick lunch at the house. Karin came to the house to pick Tove and me up and then we went to the business. At 1, Karin, Micke, My, Tove, and I headed out. 

The drive was about 2.5 hrs, and our first stop was to get the van inspected. That took about 45 minutes, and then we drove to their friend's house, which was only about 5 minutes further. We were there about 30 minutes and then all piled into the van to go eat for their daughter's 15th birthday. She chose the restaurant so we ended up at a China Garden where I got fried rice that had beef, chicken, shrimp, and eggs in it. 

Once we finished dinner, we went back to the house for fika. The mom made a frozen raspberry vanilla dessert of some sort, so we had that with coffee and tea. I tried some herb tea with milk and honey in it, and then had a little coffee. 

After that, the mom, Mary, and Karin and I walked around looking at different things. They have a hen house so we went in there with her while she picked the eggs they laid and put them in a carton for us to take back with us. She also showed me her studio where she does a lot of crafts with different things and fabrics. Then we went over to her garden and they had me try a couple leaves, one being mint and the other parsley. I took some pictures of their property, it was sooo pretty. 

Around 9 pm we headed back. At 10:30 we stopped at a McDonald's because Tove was starving and they needed coffee to keep them awake, so I got a drink. We finally got home at midnight, and I soon after went to bed. 

OH! I also found out that on Wednesday morning I will be going to the bakery in downtown Enkoping to meet everyone and talk with them, and if they like me I will be able to help them out a couple time a week and see how things are made! So keep your fingers crossed for me that everything works out and they like me!

Keep an eye out for pictures to be posted on Facebook, too!
