They have these trolls everywhere! This one was in Voss, Norway.
Here is the crying baby statue at Vigelandsparken in Oslo, Norway. Definitely one of my favorites!
Another statue from this awesome place...this one of a man and his children. There are many other statues here (and will post other pics on my Facebook). They are all meant to represent the different stages and relationships of life.
With my mom at Vigelandsparken in Oslo, Norway.
This is a shot of the roses and fountain of Vigelandsparken which is located within Frogner Park in Oslo, Norway. The park was filled with awesome landscaping.
I took this picture from the opposite side of the one above. A view looking back through Vigelandsparken.
This was a shot taken while leaving Flam, Norway and heading towards Voss, Norway.
Mom mom and I on the ferry exploring the Fjords of Norway. It was part of our "Norway in a Nutshell" tour.
Me on deck during our Fjord tour.
The famous Fjords of Norway...definitely the most scenic and beautiful part of this trip yet!
This is a picture of Flam, Norway at night. You can see the nice coloring in the sky, the mountains in the background, and a lit up Cafe in the front.
Here I am in front of a waterfall that we encountered while on our train ride into Flam, Norway. The train stopped for 5 minutes so we could get out and see it up close. Quite a site!
This is a shot of the famous "Sweater Wall" in Tallinn, Estonia. That's my mom walking in the foreground! They had lots of awesome clothing at prices cheaper than the rest of Scandinavia.
With my mom and her friend Kathy in Tallinn, Estonia. You can see part of the city in the distance.
Here I am standing in front of an ancient and historic castle in Tallinn, Estonia.
My mom and I standing in one of the town squares in Tallinn Estonia. This picture and the couple above are all from the more historic and medieval part of Estonia's capital city.
This is a memorial to people who died on a ferry from Stockholm to Tallinn on Sept. 28, 1994...kinda creepy since that is exactly what we did!
One of the many plates I had during our buffet on the Victoria, our ferry ship that went overnight from Stockholm to Estonia. Here I had vanilla ice cream, chocolate moose, and an assortment of berries, including lingonberries!
Me on the deck of the Victoria ferry ship heading towards Tallinn, Estonia.
Above is a shot of the world famous Vasa which was a ship that sank in the harbor off Stockholm in the 1600s. It wasn't recovered until over 300 years later and has been kept in good shape because the water it was in lacked salt and hard currents that could have destroyed it. The museum was pretty awesome!
I thought this was a great picture...we noticed a bunch of hot air balloons in the sky over Stockholm and so I took this shot as they flew over the Vasa Museum (where the ship above is located).
Picture of the capital city of Stockholm, Sweden. I took this from a viewing tower a few hundred feet up.
Here I am outside the Royal Palace in Stockholm with a Swedish guard behind me.
I took this during the Changing of the Guard at the Royal Palace in Stockholm, Sweden. They had an awesome ceremony that lasted over 30 minutes and featured a marching band. I'll post a video of part of the ceremony later.
I took this picture before getting on a cruise ship in Nyhavn, a 17th century waterfront entertainment district in Copenhagen, Denmark. The main walk has many restaurants, bars, and pubs. I think its such a neat shot because of all the different colors.
The Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen, Denmark. We happened to be there on her 100th birthday and the celebration including 100 women swimming up to the statue.
Tired to be artsy here...it is a shot of one of the main churches in Copenhagen in the background and a fountain in the foreground. The Danish Royal Palace is located between the two.
We stopped for a bit to watch the Changing of the Guard at the Royal Palace in Copenhagen, Denmark. The ceremony wasn't as elaborate as it would have been had the Queen been in residence.
Tivoli Garden and Theme Park at night. Great place in Copenhagen but definitely THE MOST EXPENSIVE place so far. Luckily, Sweden is the cheapest when compared to Denmark and Norway.
On one of the rides at Tivoli with my mom's friend Kathy. This was the first (and will be the last) time I go on one of those "Supreme Scream" drop-type rides. It was @&*#%$ scary!
This is a picture of me, my mom, her friend Kathy, and our Danish family friends. We went to Tivoli for the day with them after staying at their home for the night and having an authentic Danish dinner! They also invited me to the World Cup Qualifying Match between Denmark and Portugal this Saturday in Copenhagen. I'm super stoked because I've seen how crazy and intense those games look on TV!
With Ghazal and Jasmine at The Sounds concert during the Malmö Festival in Malmö, Sweden. This is the 3rd largest city in Sweden with about 250,000 people and is only a 10-15 minute train ride from where I am in Lund.
The Sounds performing. They were awesome!
A few of us went on the opening day of the Malmö Festival. Pictured here are Ghazal, Melissa, Jasmine, Alise, and Rochelle. Behind us they were doing live tatoos!
With my mom the second time I went to the Malmö Festival, or in Swedish, MalmöFestivalen!
With my mom on the steet where I live. You can see the name of it above...Tunavagen (with the two dots over the "a")!
Me inside the Botanical Gardens in Lund, Sweden.
Having dinner with my mom and Kathy the first night they arrived. Just took them to the airport yesterday...it was great having them visit!
Out clubbin' with the Swedes at Hallands Nation!
Ghazal and I partying w/ one crazzzzzy Swede! Definitely one of the best nights yet! See my first blog entry for details on this crazy night at Lunds Nation...
A few of us having dinner rooftop at Lunds Nation. You can see the city of Lund behind us. Pictured here are Alex, Anita, Sarina, Melissa, Ghazal, me, and Nora.
Me riding a bike behind the Lund Cathedral!
In front of the Lund Cathedral which work began on around 1200!
Sitting in front of the main building at Lund University. Its the one you see on their flyers.
At Lomma Beach back in the beginning of our trip! Lomma is about 15 minutes away. The beach was awesome but the influx of lady bugs were definitely not. Here I'm with Sara, Ming, Anita, Cassandra, Nora, Sarina, and Virginia.
Ming, myself, Luise, and Anita eating some of the best ice cream in Lund!
A view of Lund, Sweden that I took from the top of Lunds Nation at sunset.
One of the first days in Lund a few of us went to the Museum of Sketches which was awesome. We had a great guided tour and saw work by Henri Matisse, Diego Rivera, and Pablo Picasso. Here I'm with Melissa, Cassandra, Anita, Ming, Alex, Joyce, and Vishnu.
