Back in Sweden

Best friends,

I´m now back in Stockholm. Remember what we talked about on Cyprus, to try to keep this blog alive!!

My first contribution will be sharing a few pictures from the north of Sweden, or to be more precise, the border between Sweden and Finland. The water, which you can see in the photos, is the river between the two countries. I have my mother up there so when I came home from our course I went there for a fortnight.

Even if everybody complains about the weather this summer I must say that I´ve been lucky. I find that the temperature on Cyprus was lovely, not too hot as I had expected it to be. And in the north it was also very nice, a lot of sun during the days, but also in the nights.

I start to prepare myself for the new school year. The teachers start on the 15 th of August, so some days remain for relaxation....

All the best to all of you from Gunilla :-)
