In Sweden, however, it's almost like the seasons skip over Fall going from Summer to Winter overnight.
In Sweden they are preparing for a snowy, cold Winter and it has actually already snowed in Kiruna (see pic below). It will be Winter here before too long and the snow is beautiful but the temps are freezing here in the Northeast but nothing like being in the North of Sweden.
Before I knew it I had sent for the information, looked at it and fantasized about it for weeks and then months. So in June I decided to do something totally outside of my comfort zone and signed up for the Swedish adult camp being held the last week of October in Minnesota.
Minnesota; another place that the seasons skip over Fall going from Summer to Winter overnight. They say the temps in Minnesota go from cold to freezing. I'm prepared...I think.
So I will have a long flight going from New York to Minneapolis, MN then Minneapolis, MN to Bermidji, MN. But once I get there it will be so worth it.
