Umeå
A day devoted to friendship: vegan breakfast with Salome and Lucas, a walk to Lake Nydalasjön, a campus tour of Umeå University and warming up at the Espresso House. In the evening, frisbee in the park and cocktails with truffle pasta at GP's, it doesn't get much cosier.
Today we sleep longer. It’s good for us to catch up on sleep. We prepare a vegan delicious and cosy breakfast with Salome and Lucas and enjoy the morning with our good friends. Salome and Lucas do some more work for university, we edit our photos. At noon, Salome and Lucas show us their new home town. We walk to Lake Nydalasjön, which is close to their home. The lake is very beautiful with forest all around, a perfect place for walking, jogging or cycling. Next they show us their university. We stop at the sports centre and have an Asian bowl for lunch. The university campus is very big and modern. There is a pond in a small park and the buildings are connected with glass corridors so that in winter when the temperature is low, we don’t have to change buildings from outside. In the city centre we warm up with warm coffee and pastries at the Espresso House.
At sunset we walk to the river and play frisbee in a park until we get hungry and go to the restaurant GP’s - Guilty Pleasure Café. There we toast with cocktails and have a very good dinner. We have truffle pasta and vegan burgers. The evening is very cosy and harmonious with good conversations. We go home late and very tired, but Nicolas and I wake up again because of the cold air and watch another episode of Stranger Things.
