Dutch Pancakes in Sweeden
I actually wrote a picture entry description for this picture, but my
computer ate it – so here it goes again! It’s never as good the second
time around, is it?
This is a picture of me in Helsingborg, Sweden that stuck out for me
through all the hundreds of other pictures I’ve taken. Maybe it’s the
different angle, the fact I’m slightly left of center, or that I look
kinda skinny. Either way, I like it 
While there, I met up with a group of American passengers and we
wandered around together. They just happened to be having an
international food festival that weekend so I took full advantage. In
my hands I have some Dutch pancakes with chocolate sauce and
strawberries. Yum. You have to eat them with a tiny little fork, but
they are quite portable.
Underneath that is a bag with a huge ham and cheese pretzel from
Germany. Germany is one of the few countries I don’t go to, so I
figured I would support their food. Soft pretzels aren’t too hard to
find, but how often do you find one with ham and cheese? Don’t worry,
though, I didn’t even come close to eating the whole thing.
Also in my hands is my trusty large bottle of Aquarius Spring Water. I
go through these bottles fairly quickly, especially as it gets hotter
out and I’m wandering around more. You can also see my camera bag
slung around my shoulder.
What’s funny about this picture is that even though it was taken in
Sweden, there’s absolutely nothing Swedish about it. You can’t even
see anything Swedish in the background. I remember it being tougher
than I thought to find a Swedish restaurant around – even though every
other nationality was represented. It was still a fun day, although
hotter than I expected, as you can tell from my rolled up jacket
sleeves.
