Stockholm!

Well, after our snapps night, Cailan and I scored free tickets to another Örebro SK football game. This time it was super fun. We were no longer sick and we sat in the section with all the hardcore fans. They had a drum and tons of flags, they never sat and were constantly chanting and cheering. It was fun! 
We learned some cheers and some new Swedish words. ÖSK was playing Djurgårdens IF, an apparently goo team from Stockholm, nick named Stockholms Stolthet (Pride of Stockholm). The teams fan groupies came with them, and unlike the last game we saw where there was maybe 25 fans, Djurgårdens had hundreds. Impressive. The game was good, and close! Örebro choked on about five goal possibilities, but surprisingly managed to pull out a win. The fans section was thrilled.  After the game the team came over to thank the fans for being so supportive and then did a cheer for the fans. It was pretty cool. Nice to see how they appreciate their fans. They might have done that too at the last game, but we skipped out early.
After the game we went with a friend of Cailan's to grab some food and drinks. They don't serve alcohol at the football matches. Its funny considering all sporting matches in Canada serve alcohol. By all I mean professional.  I can't imagine what these guys would have been like under the influence. They were so exuberant to begin with. 
Today is the beginning of a new adventure: Stockholm and Helsinki!
Cailan and I are training out to Stockholm after her work tonight. She has a long weekend because here in Sweden they celebrate The Ascension or Krisit Himmelsfärdsdag. Mind you that is only tomorrow, I have yet to figure out why she has Friday off as well, but I'm not complaining, we get to go on an adventure! The basic plan is that we're heading to Stockholm tonight, staying until Friday afternoon, jumping on a boat to sail across the Baltic to Helsinki. Spend Saturday there, sail back Sunday so that Cailan can make it back to schoolio. 
Hopefully it won't really rain in Stockholm like the forecast is predicting, and that it will be +20 in Helsinki as predicted!
