Our Swedish Identification cards have arrived. Because you have to be present with you r passport, David and I met at the bank on his lunch “hour”. A Swedish ID card is similar to a US ID card but is issued by banks instead of the DMV. It is also attached to your personal number (similar to a US social security number. We are now really officially considered a person in Sweden. Since it was a lunch break for David we also stopped and grabbed lunch. He told us that he had a surprise for us after dinner and wouldn’t give us a clue.
After dinner we bundled up and walked down a street that I have only been on once before. Two block away from the apartment, our surprise awaited. It was a bowling center! It was down a flight of stairs and reminded me so much of Clemson’s bowling alley. They had 17 lanes. I guess they ran out of space and decided to only put in a half of a pair. The computer system was really neat. It controlled the bumpers, so the bumpers only came up when it was Ellie’s turn to bowl. It made adults bowling with children so much easier. Ellie was so excited to bowl again. She had a great time and bowled in the 50’s both times with quite a few balls that never touched the bumpers.
