Sweden in Photos

The week that I spent with my mom in Goteborg (Gothenburg), Sweden was incredible. Within the first day I was in love with the Scandinavian culture, and the city was so incredibly friendly and also easy to navigate (major extra points on that front!). Rather than write all about the trip, I'll let the following photos do the talking. 

Goteborg lives and breathes Volvo- as we discovered first thing at their airport!

Port City

The renowned cinnamon bun that was larger than our faces lived up to the hype

The herring on the other hand? Ehh.

Pastries galooooore. The chocolate balls rolled in coconut were all over the place and I made it my mission to try one at every bakery that had them. Only fair, right?

Twins.

The old central post office was transformed into a swanky hotel that's in the heart of the city (so many bikes everywhere!)

I was pleasantly shocked at how many BEES were all over the city! They love their flowers and gardens.

Mere just wrote a guide to Oahu, and we always get giddy when we find Bubbies' mochi ice cream off of the island. You can only imagine my delight when I came across it in Goteborg!

My mom with her new Volvo- I'm jealous!

We sipped homemade lemonade at an enchanting garden cafe when we visited the archipelago islands, which are about thirty minutes outside the city by the bus and then the ferry

The bluest of blue skies

I guess CP and I will be next on the list to get a new Volvo and head back, right?! Ha ha ha....
