Tori's First Impressions

Dear Family, Friends, and Teachers,
For the past week, I have been in Stockholm Sweden and it’s pretty cool. The family is very nice to me, even though they don’t know me that well. They helped me unpack things and settle in. So I’m settled in quite nicely, and the house is really cozy. The house has five bedrooms, one for me, and three bathrooms. I love it here, and I am starting to feel like family and I definitely feel safe in here.

In my family, they treat me like a daughter/sister. On the first day, there was a little family meeting were they told me their name, age, and career. There are five people in the Larsson family and they all had a bright smile when they saw me. The first people I met, were the twins, Gunnar and Gabriella Larsson who are both 12. They have straight, light brown hair, with water blue eyes. They greeted me and let me inside to see their home. Then they took me to see their older brother, Isak Larsson who’s 15 and has straight, blond hair and chocolate brown eyes, and their parents, Albert Larsson, 36 with blond hair and brown eyes like Isak, and Gala Larsson, 35 who also has brown hair and blue eyes just like Gunnar and Gabriella. They both came over and gave me a hug and some food. At the family meeting, I learned that Albert is CEO of Europcar and Gala is a singer. I was shocked that they were both really rich because they didn’t seem like they had a lot of money, and their house wasn’t fancy looking. All the kids play at least one sport. Well except for Gunnar. He plays every sport in the school year. Gabriella plays tennis and Isak plays ice hockey.

In Stockholm, they have weather like we do. In the winter, the warmest weather they had was 54 degrees fahrenheit, and the coldest was -17 degrees fahrenheit. There is snow on the ground and it is really cold. So I would be wearing my new sweatshirt I bought here the first day. The view here is beautiful. I watched the sunset, and it was amazing. In Sweden, I saw a huge bridge, a statue, a lot of boats, and their flag. I love it here in Sweden, but the only thing is that Stockholm is almost all city. I am looking forward to walking around and shopping some more, because they have some pretty cool things here. I also want to see the Turning Torso and the Ice Hotel.

Now that it’s the first week here in Stockholm, I will be having fun here and hanging out with mostly my family. I think I will love it here more and make new friends. Hope to write you soon!

Love,
Tori Lynn
