"Remember tonight... for it is THE BEGINNING of always." -Dante Alighieri

After 12 hours of traveling, I arrived in Stockholm to an embarrassingly large bundle of flowers. (Pat and Phil, I think you can take some of the credit here.) While the flowers delighted me, I think they were unappreciated by the locals who were frequent victims of unintentional flower to face contact due to the size. 


The first few days after my arrival were spent poking around our neighborhood and with trips to Ikea (Of course, the meatballs taste exactly the same) and the Maxi ICA (The Swedish version of Walmart). We also had a night out with Phil's cousin, Darren, and his friends who were visiting Stockholm as part of a trip around Europe.

One of the many reminders of home around Stockholm. GWU pride!
