Life in Sweden
We’ve already been here for 3 weeks now. It’s unbelievable how quickly time passes by. We’ve pretty much settled in and are enjoying the last few sunny days before the fall comes. 
The maintenance team did a great job renovating our house, putting a new IKEA kitchen in, painting the walls and redoing the floor in the living room. We especially like the fireplace for the cold winter days to come.
We share our house with Brad and Cece and their little daughter Kayley. They live upstairs. We know them from our time as students here. Brad is the kitchen manager and prepares the meals for the many students, staff and guests that come through Holsby. He loves gardening and we’ve already enjoyed some of his homegrown tomatoes.
The last few weeks Danny has been preparing for the students to arrive. Which will be in another 2 weeks. As basketball coach he organized gym times for practices and is scheduling games with the local Swedish teams. In between he got a little refresher course in the ropes course so that he can also take groups and students up into the trees.
Miri, Manuela’s neighbor from back home, came to visit us. She loved her time here at Holsby and made many new friends. We had a great 10 days together and it was sad to say good-bye to her.
The school’s new website is online – complete with pictures of us! Check it out at www.holsby.org
