Becoming Swedish...sorta

 

Today we became "official" temporary residents of Sweden!  Well, we have been since we got here, but we finally got an appointment for our cards.  The Migration Office is very backed up due to the Ukraine crisis.

Scott and I celebrated by going to the university's administration building's restaurant (each college has their own restaurant).  We opted for the klassik måltid of köttbullar med gräddsås, rårörda lingon, smörkokta morötter, pressgurka och potatismos.  Otherwise known as classic Swedish meatballs.  I was so over the top excited by the fact that you can get sparkling or still water at no extra charge, and the salad bar - wow!  I am easily impressed.

Check out this beautiful building!  Those are wood seats on the stairs - right?  Perfect!  And, who doesn't love a wall garden and a spiral staircase.  Oh, Sweden, I so dig you.  I think it's best that we stay a little while.
