To the Arena!
Time to hurry out to Friends Arena where the first practice with an audience gets underway at 8 PM. The doors open at 6 PM, so I'll try to find a few happy faces in the crowd to chat with again.
It was quite windy. My hat keeps my hair from flying every which direction, although I end up with hat hair instead. And yes, I almost believe the crane is the national bird. There's construction everywhere! The crane in this pic is being used to build the "Mall of Scandinavia". You can peek through specially built windows at the construction site to watch the progress.
I wrote a small one but have much more to say. I took a bunch of video, although my connection doesn't allow me to upload the bigger files. I'll definitely write more blog posts about it when I get back to a quicker connection in Texas.
Beautiful girl, beautiful blue skies, looks windy! Have fun tonight! Btw... is the crane the national bird of Sweden? They are everywhere!!
