Well my most recent adventure was going to my first Football match in Sweden. It was so much fun! The match was Hammarby (one of the 3 teams from Stockholm) against Göteborg. I love Football even though I didn't really pay all that close attention to the game! I was just caught up in all that was going on! This is a picture of me and Laura from ( Read more... )
