An Urban Adventure

It's been a long winter of not going outside to avoid wind and rain, and these last two weeks I spent sick after recovering from an appendectomy. The hospital experience was fine. Mostly the same as in the US except for the food. Here the food is served buffet style in a lunch room at the end of each hall. I think it's aimed at getting people up and moving around. Otherwise, nurse Chris has been unbelievably helpful and supportive. I wouldn't have made it without him!

We decided that on Saturday the family needed an outing, so we headed to Malmö.

 

Charlie got a bus ride and a train ride! He was such a good boy, and he loves the rides. He sits and stares out the window.

 

When we got to Malmö we were hoping for some sun, but mostly we got clouds. However, there was a tiny sliver of blue sky here and there. I would say we are used to clouds now, but really you are always looking for sun when it's so rare. At Malmö central station, we headed out for Stortorget.

 

Chris and I took turns going into stores for errands and staying out with Charlie. He got to see some culture, statues and art.

 

 

 

There was even a suspicious cat that needed some investigation.

 

 

 

I think he had a really good day. He has even gotten pretty used to escalators. It's funny though, at the end he wants to back up, but then at the last minute he jumps for it!

 

Finally we were back in Lund and waiting for the bus home.

With a little help, we got him to pose for a final pic. Charlie is a little camera shy. It was a good day, and a good urban adventure for the whole family!
