I don’t know how much time we have left together, but I think of you every moment, wishing you were here.

Flew over the Atlantic The design everywhere is amazing, including the airport baggage claim Took the bus to the center of town Three trams later, I figured out how to pay and which to board But the money doesn't have denomination labels They leave blankets outside at restaurants in case you want fresh air-- but it's so cold. Streets of Gothenburg More streets Banners made of jeans Nordstan shopping mall Had to check out the McDonald's seasonal items -- Chicken wings and Prime Nib (no typo) Yup, a mall. But spring is in full bloom And the weather was lovely So I wandered And wandered And wandered And wandered Graduation? Followed the spring Wandering Discovering Eating traditional Swedish foods Like rump-roast And raspberries with butter and ice cream Until my first afternoon came to a close But not without me discovering that Sweden loves gummies Just like Ikea My morning run through the park was gorgeous. We later returned here to relax that day. Grabbed a morning coffee from across the street Trying to learn the local language Moved over to my hotel, that's a pool on top! 7-11s are like Japan, places of wonderment and good food So I bought the weirdest things I could find. Before returning to the park Swedes have good taste I also located the largest chair in Gothenburg And then I located a cider And some local food But, still managed to stop by to get more gummies My hotel is nice My view is nicer Bill Murray talks about coffee Tiny cars live here And every afternoon, the Swedes enjoy the tradition of "fika" -- afternoon coffee break. So I followed suit.

I love you, dad.
