Höga Kusten och Sophias Sommar Stuga
Okay...so this took place a week ago, but things were really busy and finally I have some time to update my facebook and blogg!! SO lucky you!! I have shown a glimpse of the week with Jamie here and all the adventures we took place in, but now it's time for some more description!! :)
On Wednesday morning, Jamie and I went to Sophia's spinning class at 7.10 am!! Yep that's right, in the morning. It was a great workout and afterwards we lifted some. After our workout, we went and got ready for our 2-day trip to Sophias...aka...the Molins sommar stuga (summer house). The summer house is just outside of Övik, which is just over an hour drive from Umeå. It was absolutely beautiful there when we arrived, warm and the sun shinning. We dropped our stuff off and left to the high coast on the other side of Övik. Here we went on a hike to check out a spectacular view from the top of a cliff of the coast. The "cliff" we hiked up was only .6 km, but we are talking about hiking trail straight-up .6km. Jamie and I had no idea what to expect, unlike the Molin siblings who have done the hike a couple of times, and they knew what we were about to face. So I started off going pretty fast because I didn't think it was going to be too dificult. But as the climb continued, the slower and slower I became and the more quite I became. HAHA!! I even got made fun of that, "Amy, you're not talking as much anymore..." But by far my favorite part of the hike was when we reached the stairs...the flight or never-ending stairs. But the good news is, it was ALL worth it in the end. Because the view was absolutely SPECTACULAR!! SO BEAUTIFUL!! I really enjoyed the hike up the high coast!! It was perfect and a neat experience for me to encounter...and with Jamie as well! She loved it as well and it was perfect!! Great idea Sophia, we really enjoyed it!! Here are some pictures from the hike!

4. We followed the blue dots and trusted our life with those dots!
What a view and what great friends!!!
From the hike we went into the town of Övik and ate some amazing ice cream right on the deck by the ocean!!
After the ice cream we went back the summer house. Jamie and I thought it would be a great idea to make the Swedish family a classic American meal!! So Jamie made the dinner which was chicken divann! SO delicious with chicken, broccoli and cheese!! Served with sallad and bread!! And I made my specialty, home-made american chocolate chip cookies for dessert!
Jamie preparing dinner, Sophia and I hanging out, the dinner table set and ready to go!
Dinner!
The entire night was spent talking and enjoying each other's company. A lot of neat discussions and talk about different cultures. Oh and then the jokes!! Pretty funny ones shared with eached other. Finally we made it to our beds for a cozy evening in our guest house.
The next day we took our time doing pretty much nothing. Sophia's dad and her brother Oscar built their brigg out in the ocean. Sophia also assisted them in the building. Jamie and I were not so productive, but engaged in some soccer juggling! We were all enjoying the sun shining in our faces!! After awhile, we took a walk and checked out some of the other summer houses in the neighborhood. But by far the coolest house we visited was Peter Forsberg house!! Yep, Sophia is neighbors with him!! He had an amazing house which sets right off the coast and blocked in with many great trees. We found a spot to sit (Sophia's favorite place) and took in the moment for awhile.
Building the brigg!!
Peter's summer house....The view from Sophia's favorite spot (just by Peter's house) :)
After the walk we lunched on some hotdogs off the grill. I thought these hotdogs were SO delicious!! The best ever!! Here are some pictures of Sophia's summer house and the view from her house. It sits right on the coast and is absolutely beautiful!!
Lunch
Our guest house!! Where Jamie and I stayed!!
Then it was back to Umeå because we were off to Stockholm EARLY Friday morning. Next blog will be on our fantastic weekend in Stockholm!! More to come....TO BE CONTINUED...
