First trip to Sweden

Becca and I popped over to Sweden on November 24th to do some grocery shopping. There are a couple of free buses that run from Trondheim to supermarkets in a little town in Sweden called Storlien. Sweden is considerably cheaper than Norway so the buses are mostly filled with old people and immigrants that are trying to stretch their grocery money. Everyone else was purchasing adult things like hamburger, milk, and cereal: Becca and I bought bacon, candy, and beer.

Foreigners to the left, foreigners to the right.

The spice selection was serious business.

Cream cheese is also serious business. This is more than 3.5lbs of it.

Scandinavians love to find new and interesting flavors. And then make them into a cheese-like substance that comes out of a tube.

This is $1 USD worth of beer in Sweden. It has unicorns on it and you sober up while drinking it.

It started snowing as soon as we crossed the border.

The sun takes a long time to rise here this time of year so we had a colorful sky for the entire 90 minute ride. The scenery was amazing!
