Intense Weekend

Between party and party, some sport and some home-made Paella. 🙂

Comida Española en Suecia

Sit down

Te sientas?

Sitting down. That’s the only thing I want after running 10 km with JC. We are training for Sunday’s race… if we get then alive.

Are we skiing?

Yesterday afternoon I went for a walk to the island in front of my apartment. It was really cold, but the sun was hiding, and I could take a lot of photos. Some as example.

Sweeeeeeden

Stockholm

Ducks

Sit and enjoy

But then, this morning, the lake was half iced, and it was snowing… What can I do with such awful weather? A friend called me: “Let’s go skiing. There is a place near Stockholm, and we can spend there couple of hours.” Great!

Flottsbro (I)

First problem: the car only had summer tyres, and it was snowing and sometimes icy. So we had to walk 2 km to the “resort”. Second problem: the resort was closed. Only some parents with their children were using the slopes. So did we, we played with the snow, we went up hill and down hill, and back to the car (2 more km).

Finally my friends had a plan-B: a brunch with some Swedes, and I joined them. Nice afternoon, with changes of plan included.

Just one question: Where are these two ladies with the dog and the BABY going?

Where are they going?

Updating

* This post will be in english, in response to some comments to the previous posts.

* On thursday, it was the islamic New Year, which coincides with the spring. We went with some friends to celebrate it. Very funny party, including belly dancing, and persian dances. And also a great opportunity to know a little bit more about their traditions. Now, I know what a Haft sin table is and its meaning.

* We went back from that party by taxi. I think I already wrote about some taxi driver in this city, but it is really interesting to talk with them during the ride and listen to the stories of how they have arrived to Sweden, because all of them are foreigners. The irakian guy who has been living in Sweden for 15 years, and whose goal is to save an enormous amount of money to go the sunny and hot Dubai, where his brother lives. Or the other night’s driver, originally from Somalia, but with an incredible cuban accent and almost perfect spanish. He lived for 10 years in Cuba, and then he moved to the Scandinavia, first Norway, and now Sweden.

* Snow and cold (real on) outside. Warm inside. Lots of walking. Today I started running (next week I have a 10 km race). Hopefully, the weather will be ok then.

Stockholm

* The first guests brought some Leche Condensada, now I can drink Café Bombón at home. That’s one of the things that make me feel like at home wherever I am. 🙂

* Those who want to call me. Just click here, and put your fix number in the box. I like this idea. 🙂

* It is really amazing how Swedes follow Spanish football league. There are many more matches in the public television than in Spain! On the other hand, when I try to access to some football videos in El Mundo, I get this error:
