We made it to Gothenburg yesterday afternoon, 24+ hrs later than anticipated, but we made it. There is snow, and it's cold, and it's perfect. Walking past our flat, we could see that the doctor and his family that took over the space from us have kept our dining room chandelier and the enormous IKEA ball of flowers light in our bedroom. The julgranar are for sale in the church lot, but none seems to be as tall as the 11 1/2 foot Christmas tree we had the year we lived here.
Dinner at Sjöbaren was a bit like time with an old friend - familiar items on the menu, and one of the waitresses we recognized is expecting, so that's nice. I had a chance to meet up with Shivaun and Rosie for a late drink, and I got caught up on all of their news.
Today, it is still dark at 8:30am, although the heavy cloud cover isn't helping the light I don't think. Peter left before 7 to walk over to his meeting at Gothia Towers. He's decided to stay here at the Elite with me for the week and "commute". In a little over half an hour, I'll meet up with Al and we'll do the town in ways you can't when you're pushing a stroller, as she was when we were here. It's been a year and a half. Somehow, more seems the same than different.
