Walking

Anja, Antje, and Me

Relaxing with our new friend :o)

The Lake!

This abnormally large black lab decided to escort us from this point in our walk to the lake and back. He stayed with us the entire time until we got back to his house, where he went home without complaining. What a nice gentleman. 

Antje and Anja, both from Germany.

During the last three and a half weeks, I have discovered how much I enjoy walking. While I have had the opportunity to go on several good runs, there is often a healthy layer of ice on the pathways and roads, making walking a much safer alternative. In addition, I have begun to realize how many trails and paths there are in this area of Sweden. They are everywhere, and go in every direction. 

One of my friends, Antje, seems to discover a new walking trail every day. Yesterday, she took me and another friend, Anja (also from Germany), on a walk to a small lake about 6km away. It was so peaceful and relaxing, and I know that as the weather continues to get better, I will be finding my way to that lake very often.
