Exploring Gothenburg, Sweden
I love Sushi. Spicy tuna, California, Dragon Rolls, I am hard pressed to find a type of Sushi roll that I do not like. Here in Sweden there are tons of sushi/Japanese/Thai restaurants that serve really good sushi; however, nothing beats a homemade roll which is exactly what I spent my Saturday night doing! It was only Bea, Olivia, and I because Mats is away on business and MeiMei had a sleepover. We had a great time rolling our own wraps and playing around with chop sticks. It was really fun to be able to put exactly what we wanted into the rolls, and while they may not have been the prettiest, they sure were tasty!
Our homemade hummus appetizer made with chickpeas, lemon, tahini, and garlic topped with a little paprika and olive oil.
This was a “California Roll” that we made. It had shrimp, cucumber, and avocado.
Finished products!
As for today I went to Gothenburg and meet up with Annaliese and some of her friends. It was a lot of fun, we spent the day exploring a new part of Gothenburg I had never seen. It was farther away from the center of the city and had more cute cafes/shops and a few gorgeous churches I will picture below. I got home around 15.30 then went for a nice long run in the woods. Tomorrow in school we are going swimming again. *Sigh*
On a happier note, flowers have been blossoming all over town! I cannot wait until the trees start to get all of their leaves back. I have been noticing more and more tourists coming as well. By June, the population in Varberg doubles in size because of all the tourists we get. I can see why people flock here though – it truly is a magnificent town that I am so lucky to have the chance to live in.
Hope everyone had a great weekend!
Picture of my lunch from today. I promise there is some lettuce hiding under all of that goodness!
Beautiful church in the middle of town.
Inside the church.
Me on top of a old castle type thing we found in town. That is downtown Gothenburg in the background. No skyscrapers here, it is amazing how different the cities are in Sweden compared to the US.
