going to the zoo, zoo, zoo how about you, you, you?


hi hi hi
spent the day at the zoo! we took a 20 minute train ride to the town höör. from there it was about a 3 mile walk to the zoo! this wasn't your average zoo, this was skanes djurpark and it houses over 75 different nordic animals. the park was beautiful full of trees, and the animals had wide open spaces to frolic in and what not. it was fun seeing animals you don't typically see at a normal zoo. it was fun to just walk around and be in the sun, but i could definently tell that the weather is starting to get colder and that our days of sunshine are coming to an end. unfortunately the drop in temperature and being out all day made me get the beginnings of a cold and i'm going through my tissue supply fast. so tomorrow i'm just going to sleep and eat lots of soup and orange juice!
in my swedish culture class we got divided up into groups of 4 and we have to find something in the swedish culture that is odd or different and report on the significance of it. our teacher gave us the example of toilets; everyone uses them everyday, but many countires have different customs and different styles of toilets that can confuse an outsider. she showed us a whole slideshow of toilets from around the world. it was a funny example but made a lot of sense so i'm excited to see what the rest of the sememester will be like! my group is supposed to get together somtime this week and figure out what topic we're going to present on so hopefully we can come up with something good!
tiffany and i are going to buy our tickets for budapest tomorrow so i'm excited that i have 3 great trips planned! i'm really excited to have darin here in a few weeks! i think once i start traveling my time here is going to fly by!

hope you all are having fun back in the states and are enjoying the california heat!

miss you lots.
love you more.
