IKEA's just as giant here.

Hi there! This is the first real-time blog post! It's Monday, June 18th, 20:27, and I'm writing about TODAY. Gee whiz.

We finally made it to Lund on Saturday with big, heavy suitcases, a pile of dirty laundry, and no more clean socks. Yesterday we bought a little bit of food and some sheets. But today, we hopped a bus to IKEA in Malmö, the next town to the south-west of us. From the bus driver on the first bus we bought summer cards, which are good for 50 blocks of three hours of travel each. So it's like 50 rides, but more like....well, a lot more than that. I think we only used one ride today, because we got to IKEA and home within 3 hours.



The bus to IKEA dumps you on the side of the road, so we followed some folks in what seemed like the right direction until we saw the big waving IKEA flags and made our way inside. First on the schedule was lunch. Everything's so expensive, though! But maybe not that much more expensive than if you eat out at a restaurant somewhere I guess. We're just not especially inclined to be paying around $7 each for lunch.

There's my first tiny update for now. I'll add more later, or let Jacob keep on....but NOW it's time for dinner!

Ta!
