Winter Is Here

Week 15:

Hello Followers! This week was not as entertaining as last week but it was still good!

Monday and Tuesday were the usual school with Innebandy after. Wednesday night I went with Christer, Åsa and Inez to Leksand to see Leksand play against Mora. I wanted to go to to Leksand since they have a much bigger arena than Mora.  I also wanted to go since when we were here in 2011 we went to see Leksand Arena but we only got to see how it looked as it was summer, so I wanted to see a game! Leksand has a very large cheering section compared to Mora and you can definitely see that when you first get in.  The cheering section is usually packed for games and it should have been for the game against Mora because there is a rivalry but there was less fans than they usually have. Mora played a great game and won 4-1 if I recall correctly. It was an upset for Leksand since they do not like getting beat by Mora...especially when they are on home ice. The rest of the week was the normal week.
On Saturday not too much happened. It was a very laid back day. However, Sunday I went to watch H2 Innebandy which is the higher level team compared to HJ which is the team I am on. I do not believe there is an age limit for H2 so the opposing team had a few guys who were a lot older than some of our players on H2. It was a dirty game for an Innebandy game and the teams did not let off on each other that much even after they were spoken to by the refs.  I believe the score was 11-4 to the opposing team by the end of the game. Then Maja and I went to Morfar's apartment to help Åsa and Tomas a little with getting it ready. After we did that we went to a village outside of Mora for a Christmas Market. It was an interesting thing to see since I do not believe we do that in Canada. Then Sunday night I went to see the Hunger Games.
It has gotten colder here but there has not been snow in our area.  The North has a lot of snow and the South has a little. The sunrise right now is usually 8:30 am and the sunset is at about 15:07 pm, so a little earlier than we have in Ontario. I do not mind it but it is definitely different when it is dark when you go to school and dark when you come home from school. But it is an experience that I will remember!
