I didn't know...

This evening it is me (Ana) adding to the blog. Mandi noted this morning but then we were starving and we went on the search for food. Very Yummy salmon and pasta. I will add pictures later:0).
OK, I know I am the brunette of the pair and the older one but I am still learning. Hopefully I will continue to learn until the day I go home to see Jesus. 
I did not know: 
Little Asia girls snore (who weigh less than 100 pounds wet),
Red skinny jean could be warn by a guy who is strait,
Wearing two sets of Long Johns is weird. :/ (Mandi and a man from NY thought it was hilarious),
Europeans love to talk about American politics,
It is OK to strip down to your skives on night trains (not recommened) yuck (don't want to see that again, actually Mandi got that privilege I only saw a very hairy elbow, praise God!),
Trains could go on ferries,
It does not snow in Sweden till December and
that we could have so much fun in such a short time.
I am very grateful Mandi is my travel buddy we are both laid back and when one is stressing the other is fine and vice versa.
The trip from Sofia was very long and gratefully we will be taking shorter trains now. It is amazing the difference between the southern region of Europe and the northern. I enjoy them both because of the history but I also enjoy hearing English and Spanish. I have actually started to teach Mandi some Spanish to prepare her for when we are in the Spain. She is a quick learner and love to talk about food. We do miss the Mexican food back home but we will be prepaid to chow down when we set food on American soil.
Today, we recovered then ate and walked around Stockholm, BEAUTIFUL. It is fall here and all the trees are changing color and there are an amazing number of parks here. Everyone loves to walk. We will get to to 2 free tours of Stockholm then we will be off to Finland. The hostel is nice but very conservative with water and light. This morning Mandi had to learn first that the shower is on a push button timer and if you do not move around enough the lights will turn off. He he he She told me about the water but forgot to tell me about the timer so I was drying off in the dark. Perfect setting for of my brothers horror stories. But if you move enough the light will turn back on. It is time for dinner and a good nights rest for another walking day.
Lots of love from Stockholm,
