Swimming, biking, fika, and more swimming

Well, I have survived the first five days of living in Sweden.  I arrived at Arlanda (the Stockholm airport that is actually 30 minutes outside of Stockholm but only about 15 minutes from my house here) with Jon, Kristi, and Marisa just after 7 in the morning.  My host mother and brother were there to pick me up.  I struggled to stay awake the first day as I only slept for about an hour on the plane.  Fortunately they had plenty of things for me to do that day, I unpacked, went swimming in lake Mälaren, and walked around Sigtuna.  
These other days have been equally busy, I have done many things and had to force myself tonight to write something down before everything mixed together in my head.  The second day here, my host mother Pernilla, brother Tobias, and sister Jessika went to Stockholm and went to a photography gallery, it was very interesting, and had a great location right along the waterway of Stockholm.  We then got a bite to eat and then walked through the touristy old town where a couple big churches are, as well as Swedish Parliament, and some other famous and beautiful buildings.  That night we had a family over that is good friends of my host family.  They have a son my age and a daughter a little younger and they couldn't be nicer people.  we had a very Swedish dinner that night of grilled salmon and potatoes and a delicious yogurt sauce to go with it.
So far in Sweden, I have swam A LOT, and we bike everywhere.  We'll bike downtown Sigtuna and jump into lake Mälaren and then walk downtown and then bike home or something like that.  It's so relaxing and nice, I've thouroughly been enjoying it.  There is also this thing called fika here that is a very Swedish thing to do.  It's basically a time where you sit and drink coffee with people and eat small cookies or bread or some sort of treats and then socialize.  My host father Tomas' parents came over for fika the other day which was quite nice.
I also went blueberry picking with Tomas, Tobias, and Jessika.  We drove just a couple minutes into the forest and picked with these hand-held blueberry pickers for an hour or so and got almost 8 liters. We then made blueberry jam with Pernilla and a delicious blueberry pie.
So far my favorite thing I have done is going to a small island on lake Mälaren to eat and hang out.  We went with the same family that we had dinner with a couple nights before.  They have a great boat that we took out wakeboarding and then we sat on this small island and grilled chicken and ate pasta salad, and also ate two small perch that was caught.  We stayed there until the sun went down and then boated back to Sigtuna, it was incredibly relaxing.
 I have so far been absolutely loving Sweden.  Check out my pictures for  more examples why.  Thats it for now!  http://www.flickr.com/photos/kynite/sets/72157627213886351/
