Day 1 in Sweden!

Well, I finally made it. I'm starting my first full day in Sweden. I'm tired though. Also, my bags have not arrived. And I think I lost my Irish passport in Germany. I am not the most collected girl. If I can't find my passport then the replacement fee is 75€! That's a LOT of money considering the circumstances of how I lost it. I was running in Munich to catch a flight and I handed the lady by the gate my passport and boarding pass. Instead of giving either back she ran down the walk with me opening gates. She handed something over to the next guy in line. I'm not sure if my passport ever left her desk at the gate. But sometime between there and the plane I lost it. So it's likely either at her desk or in that tunnel thing on the way to the airplane. I'm hoping it arrives with my luggage today.

Oh, and I'm going to be soooo bored today! Jenny is gone for the next 8 hours or so and David doesn't arrive until Friday evening. I'm going to try not to sleep during the day. Once my baggage gets delivered, which should be sometime in the next 2 hours, I'll go for a walk somewhere. At the very least to ICA Väst. I might walk to ICA Maxi instead to buy some cornflakes. A walk in the sun should help me adjust time zones a bit easier. We'll see though.

For now I might get dressed and go sit outside near the front door. Anything to keep myself from falling asleep. Maybe read outside or something. It's a bit wet out, but the sun is out right now.
