For dinner, we found a very fashionable restaurant in the Durcol area with a lovely terrace. We sat down at a table underneath a fig tree and ordered burgers and a jug of mojito. The fight from earlier in the day was completely forgotten. The jokes rained like cats and dogs.
So yeah. There are definitely upsides to this traveling in a group too. A lot more laughing. A lot less checking things off a list.
After dinner, we went to a even more fashionable restaurant a couple of blocks away and had some drinks. The adjoining store had prices that were juicy even with Swedish standards, but the cocktails were good.
And they had wi-fi. This is what I looked like right after reading the e-mail from the Swedish universities admissions office: I had been accepted to the master’s program at Stockholm Resilience Centre. I was excited. Kirke didn’t understand resilience, despite my efforts in trying to explain. I guess a couple of cocktails will do that to you.
