Back from the Arctic Circle
So its been a couple weeks since i last updated this, it kinda slipped my mind. Sorry people. So ya, Last weekend I went to Kiruna, which is in the Artic Circle of northern Sweden. I went with 10 other people (some crazy french people, australians, and some swiss) we had a cool little cabin and this camp site. We went dogsledding, which was amazing, 5 dogs to each sled going through the trees, over frozen lakes, and then to a teepee where we had a fire and ate some salmon soup. It was seriously out of a movie, i felt like i was in Fargo or something. Then the next day we took snowmobiles to the ice hotel, which was crazy, there were 30 different rooms each designed by an artist. As well as an ice bar with ice glasses we drank our crazily overpriced drinks out of, haaa. We ate reindeer! We didn't get to see the Northern Lights, which sucked, we tried to stand out in the freezing cold (-30c) at night to see them, but they never showed up. Went ice fishing, tried to go cross country skiing!! but my skis were circa 1967 so it was difficult. And ya, this week has been cool, went to a few museums, trying to learn Svenska, the language is pretty hard, and it doesn't help that everyone speaks english. Group stickers at parties are a hit!!. Im going on a cruise to either helsinki, Finland or Tallin, Estonia soon so i will tell you of my adventures when i get back i miss you all and love youu!!!!
