a Day of shopping in Gothenburg!

Today I returned to my favorite city in Sweden, Göteborg... again! I know I've said this before, buuuut I LOVE THAT CITY! Well today was less of a sightseeing, adventure day and more of a 'Casey's on a mission' day. With my trip to Prague approaching quickly, I am in desperate need of some shorts. It's super hot here in Sweden, I can only imagine how hot it is in Prague. So while we have stores here in Skövde, I haven't been able to find anything. PERFECT excuse to head to Göteborg for some shopping :)

With Northern Europe's largest shopping mall, Nordstan, (see how I just throw out little tourism fun facts,? haha!) there are a TON of places to shop in Göteborg... a number of which are not even in Skövde (justification haha) so clearly I had to go there to take a look around. Anywho, my teammate and friend, Marie, hopped on a train with me that morning as we headed to my favorite city and her favorite shopping place. When we arrived, it was ok weather, but a bit chilly and a bit overcast. As we all know, I hate being cold, so this was perfect shopping weather for me... We walked in and out of stores for hours with little to no luck... Since we were both kind of frustrated with our lack of findings, we decided to eat some lunch to refuel. We ate in Nordstan at a little Mexican restaurant. It was actually exactly what I had been craving for some weeks now. Soooo Yummy! :)

After lunch, we headed out into the streets of Göteborg to look in some of the stores around town... Marie hit it big finding everything on her list... me, on the other hand: not so much. I had absolutely no luck in finding a pair of shorts or any of the shirts I had hoped to find, but that's ok! I did find a souvenir for one of my amazing cousins. The weather cleared up and warmed up throughout the day so before we left, we did take some time to eat some of the amazing ice cream sold on the streets of Göteborg. We took it to a local park along one of the canals and enjoyed So outfit for Prague, or not, I had an absolutely wonderful time with a great friend in my favorite city! :)
