We had a great St. Patrick’s Day. After work a good friend of ours, Martin, showed us around town a bit. We started out by moving our parked car to another parking spot. Rhonda thought she got a great parking spot because she was able to park so close. After we walked out of the apartment, Martin told us that on certain days of the week they do street cleaning. Our street is cleaned every Tuesday morning from 2am to 7am.  You will get a ticket if you are in the way.

After moving the car we had an excellent dinner at a restaurant called the La Vacca. We had pizzas and Carlsberg beer. Very good overall. Along the way we learned if you “take away” (never use the words “to-go” in Sweden, it confuses the translation.) the food, it costs about 50% less for this place. However, the atomsphere was great and it was worth it to be there. Also, the place is about 10 meters outside our apartment door!

After dinner we went to a great bar. Martin has spent some time there. It’s called the Dubliner. The place was full and amazingly enough almost everyone was speaking English. I had a few pints of Guinness and Rhonda was drinking Carlsberg. We hung out for a few hours and talked with some of Martin’s friends who he plays football (soccer) with. In fact one of them may be going for a jump at the local DZ in June. We hope to be there when he goes.

Before leaving Rhonda worked hard to get a popular hat from the bartenders. After going through three of them she was able to get one. Here a picture of her wearing it at home.
