Here are the best of Prague (although I don't have pics from my first day since they were on a different card), Thanksgiving here in Uppsala (Avery and I made the entire dinner! YUM!), and Uppsala's FIRST SNOW!!! Snow is also in the forecast this week and this southern californiaer couldn't be more excited!!

Now here's for the pictures of Uppsala with some Christmas decor and in the snow! I can't get enough of it! I love the little streets with Christmas lights strung across the entire street, since it gets dark here so early (today it was dark by 3pm) the lights really brighten the mood of the city!
 |
| View from the library, Carolina Rediviva |
 |
| I don't know if you can really see from this picture, but every window has got either a Christmas star, or the very typical Swedish Christmas triangle lights! They are in every single building! |
 |
| To make it even better, just about every large evergreen has lights on it to make a Christmas tree!! |
 |
| SNOW!!!!! (finally!) |
 |
| Park of my bike ride (yes I rode my bike in the snow) |
 |
| Uppsala Castle |
 |
| Those puddles are all frozen |
These pictures were all taken between 2:30 and 3:15pm!
 |
| That store right there has got the cutest Swedish Christmas items, Mumsie, you would be in heaven! |
 |
| See what I mean by all the lights? |
 |
| Bike ride home at 3:15 |
 |
