For starters, my best friends Kaila and Elesa and I, along with our friends Pawel from Poland and Oscar from Mexico, spent a couple days traveling around Stockholm! The Scandinavian capital is absolutely one of the most beautiful cities I have ever visited. As college students, we were somewhat short on funds, so instead of actually visiting museums and famous monuments, we enjoyed the 65 and sunny weather by attending an outdoor Turkish festival, eating at an outdoor cafe and enjoying each others company. We also stayed at one of the nicest hostels I think I have ever seen and met a lot of interesting international travelers!

After Stockholm, we decided to relax in the 70 AND SUNNY weather of jonkoping for a few days, before heading off to Granna, the candy capital of Sweden, for the day. They are famous for their peppermint sticks, and they are truly delicious!

The break was a much needed time off from school, and gave us the perfect amount of rest time before we start our student teaching on tuesday! I look forward to teaching, although am slightly nervous about the language barrier! 

Sorry for the short nature of this blog, but I seem to have thought I really was on vacation! The next one will be juicier and longer i promise! 

peace, love, and sunshine <3
