Fall Break: Sweden!

My school here in Aix had a week off for fall break and my friend Abbie is studying in Sweden, so I hopped across the Baltic Sea to the land of the tall, blond, and be-knitted. The air was cold but the fika (obligatory and often thrice-daily coffee break) was hot, and the two of us spent a lovely week admiring architecture, baking cookies, and laughing at funny Swedish words.
