breakfast at stina's.

last day in america.

stina made us american pancakes with maple syrup.
yesterday i had toast with peanutbutter and jelly.
interesting food experience.
she went out before breakfast today, before i had woken up, and

got me a starbucks mocha.
how sweet is that. i love her!

palo alto.

i wanted to see death on the nile, but i missed it.

i wish sweden had cinemas like the ones here. there are old black and white movies showing and all kinds of other genres. i love it.
i also loved the vegan-restaurant we ate at here in palo alto. kind of reminded of chinese yet not. don't remember its name. i must say those pizza slize places are genius. i never tried frozen yoghurt though. there is so many different things to pick from here in america!

why are all my america posts about food?!

rocky horror..

At midnight, Stina and I went back from SF to Palo Alto to see the Rocky Horror Picture Show at Guild, which is an old movie theater. i've always wanted to see it in a theater.. i was superhappy. (i know there are shows in denmark, but with sweden i'm not sure). there were performances and people shouting funny things very synced through the whole film and lots of singing and dancing. it was really fun. well, for the people who know the film, there was a bunch that hadn't seen it, think they will have to see it again. if you get a chance, go see it!

palo alto, day two.

today we spent time with the families on the stanford campus. it wasn't too hot outside, i liked that. had some good jamba juice. went up in the hoover tower and got some orientation. i saw a humming bird today. adorable. i've only seen downtown palo alto, redwood city and stanford so far, it is cute. love the palm trees and the fog crawling over the mountains! frozen yoghurt seems to be the thing there. tomorrow we're meeting cecilia and kajsa in san fransisco. yesterday i was still on swedish time, but today was easier. i miss swedish food.

palo alto, day one.

writing from my sisters bed. we're watching a movie, and i should be sleeping, i am exhausted. i didnt get enough sleep the night before i left sweden, so i felt sick the whole way. i liked chicago's airport. now i'm here in palo alto.

the american list. some things, seen from a swedish perspective:

• there are no street lights at night at this place where stina lives. scary. and what's with the U turns? everybody seems to drive big heavy dark cars that drinks gas. i've only seen ONE old volvo on the freeway lol.
  
  
• doorhandles are funny, and i don't get the carpet floors.

• i don't get to pack the grocery bags. why?!?! i've got arms?!

• i don't get seat number at cinemas.
