From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Fika is a Swedish verb that roughly means "to take a coffee break".
Fika is a social institution in Sweden: it means taking a break from work or other activities and having a coffee with one's colleagues, friends, date, or family. The word has quite ambiguous connotations, and can at its its extremes denote a date or a small meal with your boss. This practice of taking a break for a coffee and a light snack (some biscuits, cookies, or a sandwich) between more substantial meals like lunch and dinner is central to Swedish life, Swedes being among the heaviest consumers of coffee in the world.

today all the girls went for fika at Varmlands with Christiane.
This is my first time and i loved it!
i have decided to go try fika at each nation every Sunday and decide on my favorite one!
sorry i was too hungry and bsuy devoring the food to take any photos.

later we went to check out some canoe-ing competition along the river.













they have to row their canoe down this "slide" thing at the beginning of the race.

















the competition is to go around this thing as soon as possible.













the canoes along the river.

















the river current is really strong so i am impressed!













As the cheerleading championships that we wanted to watch was too far a walk, we decided to go shopping!
