Fika, Chomsky, and Lottas!!
Nice day!! Fika, Chomsky and Lottas...what more can you ask for??
The day started off with a run outside by Gammlia. Then a bike ride to town to eat at Rhodes Restaurant!! Really, really good food!! Then we went to the centrum and did some window shopping. Then...of course...FIKA!!
FIKA!!! What a great experience!! Jamie loving it!!
Then Jamie and I got ready for a video conference with Noam Chomsky that Kerstin (Julia's mom) helped organized at Umeå University. It was a live video conference from M.I.T in Boston to here in Umeå...pretty neat. Chomsky is a professor at MIT that is know world-wide as an expert in linguistics and foreign policy. It was an interesting discussion on world-wide politics and issue concerning the US. There were about 250 people at the conference and Kerstin was the main organizer of it all. Jamie and I agreed that we would help her collect money for the Oxfam Foundation, an organization that helps support limiting hunger and poverty issues throughout the world. So we went around asking for donations, it was a really neat experience I thought. Very educational conference as well and interesting issues I had never really thought about. I felt wiser after it!! Haha!! :)
Kerstin and me!!
Jamie and me...lets collect some money!!!
The man of the hour!
Kerstin speaking in front of everybody...she did a GREATTTT job!!
Up on screen!!
After the video conference we thought it would be a good idea to go out and celebrate how successful everything went!! So we went and ate dinner at Lottas!! It tasted amazing!! The cheeseburgers were to die for!! SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good!! We were in heaven for a little bit!! And they are the best with a beer!!! We even made some friend while we were there. It was a really nice evening!!
So a great day!!! Jammed packed with tons of fun!! Busy, busy, busy also!! It doesnt stop either. Tomorrow morning Jamie and I will go to spinning class at 7am. Yep I said that right...7AM!! I can't believe it, it's going to be good though with our great instructor Sophia! We need a good workout after a meal like that! After the class we travel to Övik to visit Sophia's summer house!! It is going to be so fantastic!! I can't wait for a little bit of relaxation and exploration around the coast!! Her house lays right next to the ocean...so beautiful!! Can't wait!! We will come back Thursday night and spend about 2 days up at the house. Then friday it is off to Stockholm!! Just trying to show Jamie as much as possible.
Well I got to get some sleep...early start tomorrow!! Sov gott!!
Godnatt!!
