That's what I call a great day

Last weekend the weather was beautiful (and by beautiful always just assume that I mean it was cold but at least sunny). The leaves have been changing colors and there are tons of parks around the city. So Blake and I walked around one of their biggest parks, Djurgården on Sunday. Here is some of the amazingness of Stockhom:







After our walk we went to a Chocolate Festival. Yeah, I know.. awesome. I can now say that there is such a thing as too much chocolate. There were about 100 vendors and you would just walk up to their booth and hold out your hand and they would give you chocolate. Pretty much the best thing ever.

The whole day was really fun and then to top it off, we watched American football with a group of Seahawks fans. We went to a "Boston-style" pub that we knew was showing the Dolphins game and Blake noticed a few people decked out in Seahawks gear. We started talking to them, and one of their brothers used to live in Seattle, and he converted all of his friends to Seahawks fans. How random is that?



The first game doesnt even start until 7 pm, and then we have a half hour subway ride home, so at 10:30, I was ready to go home, even though the Seahawks game was just starting. Plus I remembered that I had promised my office to bring in real American cupcakes (Thanks to Kathleen who brought me some cake mix and frosting from the States when she visited), and I still had to make them. Well, when you are at a bar watching football, apparently "I have to go home and make cupcakes" sounds like a pretty weird excuse... they got a pretty big kick out of it. But my office loved the cupcakes at fika (coffee and cake break- also, coincidently my favorite thing about Sweden) the next day.
