sweden-bound

the plan for wednesday: leaving home at 10 am with as little luggage as possible (keeping in mind it's under 0° C there right noz); taking the metro (line 10 to odéon, change to line 4 jusqu'à chatelet, take line 1 almost to the end); pick up the 13 euro shuttle to beauvais airport, pay 12 euro to check a bag (and cry a little because they will lose the bag inevitably, and i don't have many clothes) and take the 2 hour ryanair flight to stockholm. arrive in stockholm, frantically locate bag, take the 90-minute, 130 SED bus to the center of stockholm, where i will be picked up by my friend anton that i haven't seen in 2 years!! (we worked together at french woods summer of 2005) i will most likely be checking out fauvist art (so says pascal, my art contempo teacher) as well as some post-impressionists. frankly, i'm psyched to be getting out of the somewhat familiar and having pretty much free accomodation for a few days! i return sunday, which is my (real) father's birthday. i am a jerk and didn't send off his birthday card in time. maybe i'll be able to do that tomorrow. yikes!!

you can probably mail the card from the airport. there are often post office boxes there. although beauvais is on the podunk side
