quick update!


Hello everyone. I am doing a quick update on my Sweden adventure. It has gotten much darker and colder here. I am not used to it yet, but soon I will be. We had a final exam on Friday that covered a lot of information. Luckily it was Halloween, so I got to spend the rest of the day preparing my costume and eating Mcdonald's. Saturday night I walked around the local graveyard because it is a Swedish tradition to light candles there on All Saint's Day. Today, Sunday, I rode out to a local farm and bought some peanut raisin butter. The weather was beautiful.
This week we are starting the next period, so I'll keep everyone informed.





At the Farm there were female Peacocks.



My halloween costume. Nick was Uncle Sam and I was Mr. Mellan Mjölk.


The Rotundan




Valeria, from Brazil, in front of the Administration building.





The MSLS Common Room/Workshop.

Wow!!! Those graveyard shots are awesome. What a neat idea to light candles and lanterns on All Saints Day.
I noticed that Valeria had on Crocs in her photo.
Is that your bike behind you at the Blekinge Instute?
Looks like fun mister. Peanut raisin butter. hmmm that is a new one.
Cute peacocks and interesting hat you are wearing. I like it - you look like you would fit right in - in Sweden.

Thank you, thank you, my special grandson for the quick update blog.
I truly enjoy seeing what's "in your world" there. Love the hat, the Tennessee shirt (which being orange looks 'Halloweeny'.) Wish I could sneak over and join the fun. ;) Also enjoyed you with the peacocks and seeing shots of the school. You're the greatest! Good luck with the new session starting this week. Enjoyed talking you yesterday. Be in touch...Love you bunches! Mims

Hey, Matt! Thanks so much for keeping us informed about your wonderful adventures in Sweden and beyond. We enjoy reading your stories and seeing your great photos. We also appreciate your keeping us informed as you go through the lengthening days of Autumn in your faraway land near the top of the world. Keep up the good work!
Love you, Aunt Rosalyn
