Summer begins!

Hej allihopa! Summer is back, and so is my blog!
It's been a long winter here in Minnesota, and I'm excited about getting ready for camp. Are you ready? It's time to pull out the Swedish t-shirts and shorts, and gather all the magazines, books, posters and games I've collected during the year, and drive my little car up to Bemidji. We have 9 native Swedes working this summer, and so far 7 of them are in the Twin Cities. The last two arrive on Saturday. The 7 that are here are all helping out at the American Swedish Institute's summer day camp this week. I'm looking forward to meeting most of them tomorrow.

Today Annika came to my home to work on our Orientation schedule. We also talked about where we will house villagers and staff, and we are very excited about our new cabin! It makes housing so much easier! I posted some photos of the new cabin on the website, so I hope you'll go take a look.

I've seen a few of you during the year, and it's been great to keep in touch! I can't wait to see everyone else on an opening or closing day this summer. Keep checking this blog for updates about Sjölunden 2008!
Vi ses snart!

Congrats on the first cabin being finished, Magda! It looks like you must have had fun on your trip to Stockholm! I'm leaving in about a month for my year abroad in Nyköping, where I'll be living with a host family that owns the local cat shelter. (Perfect, right?) I can't wait to see this summer's photos! As wonderful as I know Sweden will be, I'll still miss Sjölunden. ;) Hope you have a wonderful year!

Kram,
Katrin
