Thanks to the wedding, my parents are here in Sweden for the first time, and I am really getting to show off my new home to two pairs of captive ears. Poor people… there are so many fun things to see and do (and eat) that I might be totally exhausting them, but we’re on day six and they still seem pretty game for exploration, so it can’t be that bad.
Besides touring all the tourist sites and cafes in the country, though, I find myself peppering them with a constant stream of facts about life in Sweden. When we got off the train in Lund from Stockholm, I found myself suddenly emotional about how much I love this country that has become home to me.
