Sorry for the delay...

Had a hard time getting internet access. Went to War of the Worlds last night, not my first pick but it was English and not sold out. It was ok at best - wouldnät have gone in the US but oh well. Unlike Switzerland, they do not stop the movie halfway and sell ice cream on the stage, just an FYI. We've been in Kalmar, Sweden for the last 2 days chillin, today we are headed N to Stockholm. I've rented 2 cars here - a Puegot (sp?) station wagon and Saab station wagon - the Saab had 4 km on it when we picked it up. Glad I'm the driver...

Otherwise, all is well. Have seen more not as tall and beautiful and blonde and perfect people here in Kalmar as opposed to Copenhagen, but I'm thinking that getting back to a big city in Stockholm will bring out the beautiful people. I got to lay out yesterday, yeah. Sun didn't do all that much though, unfortunately. We had a drink at a Boston pub last night - seriously had Sox and Celtics and especially Bruins stuff all over. Weird.

Not sure what other details to report. It's good weather 70 - 75 every day. The glass blowing was as underwhelming as I expected, but I did get the chance to chat with a man about the government and their socialistic ways. He reported that by in large, people are disappointed with the taxes they pay in return for the services they get. I feel like in Denmark people have it pretty good, he told me in Sweden it's not as good. He said the tax rate is about 70%, and as for healthcare, it's a 6 month wait to get an appointment to see a doctor so lots of people are buying private insurance on top of their gov't to supplement their healthcare. Interesting. He said elections are coming up next year and there may be changes in the gov't then...

That's about all the exciting stuff I have to report. Ooh - I had a McDonald's PitaMac yesterday - veggie. It was muy bueno. I think it's something Alicia might even eat at MickeyDs? Perhaps? Maybe it's headed to the Estados Unidos...
