Miriam's visit to Stockholm

Last Tuesday through Thursday my friend Miriam, from Grinnell, came to visit. She had been on a women's studies program throughout Europe that ended in November, so she had time to explore more of Europe. Tuesday night when she got here we had dinner with my host family, I made stuffed peppers. Then Wednesday we made Swedish pancakes and pea soup for lunch then went to a market at Hötorget, stopped for fika then explored Gamla Stan and the Christmas market there. After that we went to Zoe's house where we met up with Zoe and Janie and then went ice skating at the Kungsträgården rink, and none of us fell! After skating we all went out for Thai food with my friends Janie, Kat and Dru.
Thursday we went on a walk in the woods by my house, explored Sergel storg, went shopping, then went back to Gamla Stan again before her train left at 5pm. All in all it was a fun visit, i think! Unfortunately my camera was dead the whole time so I don't have pictures...


This past weekend I went to my friend Kat's house on Friday for sledding and sauna, worked on papers on Saturday, then went to Skansen for the Christmas market then my favorite cafe, Choklad Bollen to study, on Sunday. Here are some pictures from the weekend:

Guess i'm not very good at sledding
