we're in sweden!!!!!

i haven't been able to get to a computer in a few days. i'm sure you have all been bitting your nails in suspense, so here's the update. john and i spent two days in copenhagen couch surfing with jakob and marie. the city was great(and carleen of course we saw the little mermaid, she says hello and loves you as well). the most impressive thing in the city which i was not aware of, nor had ever heard of is Christiana. look it up for more information, because it will take me too long to explain, but basically it is an old military camp that hippies have inhabited and been living in rent free since 1971. it's a whole different world once you walk intop the walls of Christiana! absolutely one of the most interesting experiances i've ever had!! after copenhagen we rode north into helsingor denmark were we camped for the night. the next morning we took a ferry into sweden. from helsingbor sweden we had well over 200km to ride and two days to get to gothenburg, the next city in which we would be couch surfing. it was two extremely intense days of riding. yesterday we rode almost 12 hours! we rode about 160km yesterday and 130 the previous day. my legs hurt!!! we had and extra 30km of riding because we are also hitting up every World Heritage Site along the way. we'll have seen 4 after sweden. so now we have two days in gothenburg sweden to rest a bit! we are couch surfing with Inga-Theraesa (who we refer to as mother theraesa, because she is so sweet!) and her boyfriend Ulysess who is equally as kind! couch surfing has been such a great experiance!!! i highly highly recomend it to anyone who ever travels. you get a perspective into a city and a culture that you just cannot get from a city tour. it's been so enjoyable so far. so john and i are going to go see the sites for a bit then meet up with our hosts for dinner!!!
