Everything is Better with Friends

We are nearing the end of our time here in Sweden, and these last few weeks have been a bit anti-climactic. The tourists are here in full force, which makes going into town less pleasant. The locals have all left for summer homes and vacations, which makes the lab like a ghost town. Many of the friends we made were only here for the summer and have gone back to their regular lives in other parts of the world.

And we have gotten to the point where every time we do something or go somewhere, it is probably for the last time. 

Luckily for us, we have some friends from home who are adventurous enough to come visit us. They have totally transformed our "last times" for the better. Experiencing it with friends, we get to show off all of our favorites and see it through their "first time" lens. Instead of having a bunch of sad, last visits to our favorite places, we've had a highlight reel of the "Best of the Best".

Many thanks to the Motiwallas for trekking all the way to Sweden and for making our last week so much more joyful than it would have been without you!
