Växjö, Sweden!

Sorry I haven't blogged much lately! We've been busy and Kevin hasn't been playing because he is injured :( but it's nice that we have a few days off together while the team goes away for their game today! So we might travel somewhere fun last minute! I will keep you posted!!

Växjö is the closest large city to Tingsryd. Its about a 45 minute drive of just countryside, horses and cows! So it feels like forever! These are pictures from a bunch of different times going to Växjö, we go there often! We actually went there last night for dinner at Venezia, an Italian Restaurant and then saw the movie the Campaign with 2 other couples from the team!

Växjö has a population of 64,200. The city's name is believed to be constructed from the words "väg" (road) and "sjö" (lake), meaning the road over the frozen Växjö Lake that farmers took in the winter to get to the marketplace that later became the city. Växjö is the home of Linnaeus University, as well as many sports clubs- Östers IF (football- as we know it "soccer"), Hovshaga AIF (football), Växjö Lakers Hockey Club (which is currently in the Elitserien- top league in Sweden), and the Växjö Vipers (Swedish floor-hockey).

The Lake!



Heard this was a really good restaurant right on the water! Kev and I will have to try it one day! 



The City!










Live music at the city centre!




Liked the simple layout of this retail design!


Cute home decor store!


Växjö Cathedral (Swedish: Växjö domkyrka) in the center of Växjö, Sweden, is the seat of the bishop of the Diocese of Växjö in the Church of Sweden.



Every moment I spend with you is a moment I treasure <3


Our favorite Thai food restaurant! It's really good! Fall! <3

The Mall!




The shirt I was looking for forever at home and finally found it at the H&M here!

Dinner at Venezia!




It was unfortunate that they only serve Pizza on Sunday's and Monday's, because we really wanted to try there fresh homemade pasta that we heard great things about! But the Pizza was really good! :)


The Girls! Amanda from Vancouver, Sandra from Sweden, and Moi!


The Guys! Kevin, Kasper from Denmark, and Mark from Vancouver!

The Movies!




Interesting way they keep their popcorn!


TED is only coming soon in Sweden!



Kevin claimed his seat!



The Campaign! They play the American movies in English with Swedish subtitles!


These 2 guys are so funny! :)

Swedish Word of the Day:
Filmer ("fill..mer") meaning Movies

PEACE & LOVE,
Kevin & Amanda
