At saturday we stood up at 10 and went to the university for booking the train tickets for Gema which she needed on sunday. We wanted to go to university anyway because there happened this years Medelpaddeln. The task at Medelpaddeln is for two team to canoe approximatly 100 meters upstream to the lower bridge, climb a latter, handshake with a person on the bridge and get back as first team to the starting point. It was great fun. A lot of canoes keeled over. Ulrich's team even won the first competition. I took so many pictures that I had to make two galleries in Picasa. One only about the race and one about race and audience.
Click on the pictures below.
After the race Gema and I went home while Philipp worked further at the university. As well as Gema I took a nap for being prepared for the evening. First we had a preparty at Ulrich's flat and went to the student house afterwards. It was even full. A pitty we missed the cover band in the first floor. Somehow in the upper floor was first nothing so we went to the dance floor downstairs were we danced until the end, but the music was the worst we have ever heard there. Nobody of us liked it (except perhaps Petter... if he can remember it :D ). In a beautiful morning light we went home by car at 2:30. If it is not clouded it is bright 24 hours a day now.
We went to bad at 3am and stood ab at 6:30. Gema's went by train 8:11. I am so looking forward to go to Spain one day. After Philipp and I have returned from the trainstation we slept. But I slept just for a little bit more than one hour, because I guided Sebastian and his parents to Härnösand. His parents are here for vacation by car and because Sebastian wanted to see something different I offered to show them Härnösand, because I was longing for a change, too. And it was great! First we took a walk of a little bit more than one hour through the town, watched the buildings and the dome. Afterwards we stopped in a cafe and drove to Smitingen afterwards. The
last time I've been there was during the EILC in august 2006. This time The weather was great, for the sun was shining all the time, like once in august. We wandered from Smitingen to some grottoes and around a lake. The way was difficult and we had to climb a lot. But we have been rewarded with a most amazing landscape, a natural peacefulness and the best tracking experience since I've been in Sweden. Again, a gallery at Picasa shows expressions of my trip.
This was the most beautiful weekend of the semester. First all the activities with Gema and then this dream of a trip to Smitingen. Today I knew, why I had chosen Sweden for my abroad.
