More traveling!

Recently, my mom, sister, and cousin came to visit me in Sweden and we spent a good 10 days together in Europe. We spent three days in Gothenburg so I could show them how I've been living and how awesome it is here. Then we flew to Paris and then to Rome and finally to Ostia, which is a beach area in the outskirts of Rome.

It was really pretty cool to have them in Gothenburg because I was able to introduce them to some of my new friends and take them to places that I've gotten so used to having around, such as Vrångö and Nordstan.

I took them to the airport this morning and now I have a lot of great memories and pictures to share. There are so many of these things though... I will have to limit myself.

Five best memories (I'll write descriptions as I find time)

1. Dinner in Arisa's Kitchen
Arisa, Mira, my family and I had dinner in Arisa's kitchen one night. It was a lot of fun to see how my family interacted with my new friends and we had lots of great food and had a good time.

2. 'Romeo and Julia'
I took my family to the opera house to see the final performance of 'Romeo and Julia.' It was amazing, Göteborgs Symphony Orchestra was phenomenal and I hope to never forget the show.

3. Dance lesson with Joscha
Joscha came to Helmuts to teach Mira, me, and my family how to dance. We learned some basic steps for cha cha cha, rumba, samba, and jive. It was really a lot of fun.

4. On the beach in Ostia
My and my family hung out all day on the beach in Ostia for one day on this trip. The beach was great, the water wasn't too cold and it was pretty clean. I fell asleep in the sun a little bit and burned, but not too bad. It was good to get some sun.
