Fredrik and I were starving when we got back to land, after sailing yesterday, so we went to the grocery store and purchased a roasted chicken for lunch. A couple of other interesting things about Swedish grocery stores is that if you pay with any coins, you feed them into a machine rather than giving them to the cash register. And if you want to bag up your groceries, you grab the necessary paper or plastic just before check-out and add them to the conveyor belt with your food to pay for the bags.
After stuffing our faces, we went to play racquetball for a bit. Sweaty and fun, and I was nice enough to let Fredrik win (hah. hah.). For my last dinner, Otto set up the family’s paella pan outside and proceeded to fry up mussles, crayfish, salmon, chicken, shrimp, octopus, and rice. Eva’s parents, who live only 200m away, came for dinner so they could meet me. It was raining by then, so the seven of us sat around the dinner table inside to enjoy yet another fantastic meal with wine. For dessert, we had some chocolate, and I tried my first-ever espresso (not too much, otherwise I would have been up all night). I also had a taste of cloudberry liqueur. By 10 p.m. Fredrik and I called it a night and excused ourselves. I spent some time before bed packing.
Fredrik and I are now driving to Copenhagen for my 2 p.m. flight home today. I am acquiring wireless connectivity on his laptop through his Google phone (so cool!).
