Today was a good last day in da hood. Unfortunately, it started with yet another bright and early wake up call to catch the good ol' bus. Some of the group met up with a few of our SUSHIs and caught another bus to Granna, which is a little island type thing about 45 minute away from Jonkoping. Now the cool part: Granna's claim to fame...CANDY! That's right, bring on the Willy Wonka/50 cent references all day erry day. Specifially, Granna's famous for a type of candy called Polkagris (basically like a peppermint stick). It all started when (after her husband died) this woman had to support hereself but at that time women couldn't hold most jobs. She wasn't takin' none of dat so she got permission to open up a bakery and there ya have it, getting stuff done. The shop we started in had a big giant window where people could watch one of the workers make the candy (which we got to see!!) so that was pretty neat. Sorry to spoil the surprise, but I'm definitely bringing back some as souvenirs so get excited=) (BUT NO ONE CAN HATE ME IF IT BREAKS IN MY BAG!!!). Once we got back, I've just been laying around and packing and napping (riveting stuff I know).
Tomorrow is when the real craziness begins, STOCKHOLM!!! I'll have to take that dang bus for 4 hours but I'm hoping some dramamine will knock me out a little so I can rest up. I don't really thing we're doing much else besides checking into the hotel/boat/hostel (whatever its classified as) and then having a nice group dinner. Speaking of these accommodations...cozy is an understatement. According to the professors, you can use the restroom, shower, brush your teeth, and wash your hands all without moving, at least the groups pretty comfortable with each other now! I think it'll be fun though, definitely an experience at least.
home sweet home...
So due to a sketch sketch sketchy wifi situation at the next destination, this could be my last post for a few days! I'm still going to blog then I'll just upload posts when I can.
I almost forgot! Still no verdict on rooms #3, does she exist? I will never know...
