Prime Burger in Stockholm

Today I went to a restaurant called Prime Burger. It was totally AWESOME! 5 stars. Making the top 5 of my awesomest meals that have pork on them. I had the ultimate beef burger. (If you have not guessed already, the burger was beef). One beef burger, a few red onions, lettuce, tomato, mayo, and some delicious bbq pork. We also got milkshakes. Zoe and I got vanilla milkshakes. Tori got an apple pie milkshakes. Everybody here speaks English, to our benefit. I am loving Sweden so far. Our apartment is good enough for me, the food is great, and school starts today at home. I will miss going to school so much.

1 month in, 1 month out

It has been more than one month since we left home on July 8th! On August 8th (it's August 12th now), it had been exactly one month. I can't believe it! It feels like just an ordinary trip. Like I will go home to meet my friends and do summer camp tomorrow. But I won't go home. I still miss my friends, and Camp Echo Hill won't have any sign of the Schlossnagles anytime soon.

If I was back home right now I would see all of my best friends again. Zoe and I would get to show Tori around Camp Echo Hill. My home would have a Gianna in it. I would get to play outside. The weather would warm my bones. I would have sleepovers with my friends and I would go to Florida and Cape Cod to visit my Grandpas, Grandma, and Nonna. But I'm not at home.😢

But I do like some stuff that we do, like exploring castles and playing at the beach. I like most of the tours; especially the tour guides. They are very funny. Castles, tombs, museums, and beaches have been fun on the trip too. I think that Paros, Greece was the best. That was the place with the beach and butterflies.

TACO-TIME!!! (Leaving Meath, Visiting Trim, Arriving in Dublin)

Today we went away from dream house number two. This sucks, because I loved that house. It had wifi! The house had 5 beds (almost everyone got their own bed), a kitchen, a store across the street, and a living room. I'm so sad that we left that house. It was one of my dream houses! I loved almost everything about that house.

The car ride was a little boring. Okay, really boring. We had to listen to a history of the Greeks, Mesopotamians, and the Romans. Okay, I like the Greek and Roman myths a lot, but I thought this wasn't fun... at all. I just looked out the window the whole time.

Then, we took a tour of Trim Castle. It was the best! I thought the tour guide was funny. We saw the Trim Castle in different models over a period of times. It was cool. Then the tour guide brought us up to the roof. The view was amazing, though I think we went down earlier than the intended time to go down because of the wind.

Next, we went to the Castle (a restaurant). The only thing I liked on the menu were the milkshakes. After that, we went to an archaeological site. I uncovered a wall! It was awesome until I realized that they probably made the wall in the first place. Finally we got to the apartment in Dublin. It's the coolest! I hope that we go back to The Oarsman; the wings there are the best. Our waitress, Andrea is super awesome, too.
