Culture night and the next step in our travels

I know it has been quite a while since I have written in my blog, sorry about that. The past week hasn’t really been all that eventful before the last weekend. Last week involved, Stina’s driving test (which she passed) and did a large dinner for Stina’s mother's birthday. All of our other time has been on the internet searching for apartments, jobs, and places to stay till we have an apartment. I knew this was going to be difficult but we seem to be making a bit of progress.

                Last weekend, it was the culture night in Uppsala. This was a long day of interesting things. We started our day with a Swedish massage and a tea tasting. After we completed our massages it was off to acupuncture. It was an experience that was both painful and boring, especially when I forgot that I had a needle in my ear and rolled my head over on the pillow. (Didn't help my sleeping at all either btw) So once we completed that we headed over to the a couple of art exhibits and the house of the famous writer about the cat. Then we ate some tofu, saw a cactus garden, and the garden of linnaeus the father of

grouping and classification of animals. Off to the dungeons, This was really cool to see and it was also the last time it will be open for a couple of years so we were really glad to catch it. The night ended after a couple of fire shows and some beer. It was 12 hours of walking and planning but turned out to be a lot of fun. 

                Since then it has all been packing and traveling. All our luggage made the it a long difficult ride but now that we are down here all is much better. The ocean to the west, crisp smell of salt, and small houses all around. It is almost like being back in San Diego, other then it is much colder here and more wind. It reminds me a lot of the east coast shores but it is nice to be getting back to our journey.
