“And you can drink from the tap!”

The next morning I caught a quick train to Sweden. Until a few years ago, I never realized how close Sweden is to continental Europe. In my mind it was always swimming up there with Norway and Finland, far away from everywhere else.

(It’s worth noting that one of the first things I saw when entering the country was: IKEA!)

The train took me right into the little town of Lund. Look who was waiting for me at the station:

Hannah!

Hannah studied abroad in Lund a few years ago. She was in town visiting her friends who are still in school. It worked out well that our travel itineraries allowed for us to meet up. And it worked out especially well that one of her friends let us stay in his dorm while he was out. (Sweden is expensive!)

Hannah showed me around town, took me to her university, and to the local church. We admired the cute little houses and Swedish clouds, and ate lunch at a sandwich shop.

It was fun to see the adorable town that Hannah holds so close to her heart.
