Shopping and Babies in Luleå!

Today was so much fun, and I am exhausted! We had a great shopping day and William was so patient while I went into every girly store. I have decided to avoid all clothing stores. Say you find a cute shirt that would be about $40 in America it is $280 here in Sweden. I literally choke when I do the price in my head! The taxes are ridiculous!

Luleå is so pretty here though, we walked to downtown Luleå from Will's sister, Emma's apartment...

I had to see what McDonalds looked like here and was in total and COMPLETE SHOCK when I walked inside, I was pretty certain I walked into a high class fancy pants restaurant!

Saw some pretty cool buildings but you miss the beauty because all the shops distract you from looking up at what you are walking into!

After shopping we went to Malin's (William's half sister) home which is down a LOOONNG dirt road on a private little lake. So beautiful!

She just had a little boy named Viktor in March 2006. He is so adorable! This is the kind of baby you just could waste your whole memory card of your camera on!
