Peanut Letter 4

Peanut's fourth letter!

Dear Class,

How is America? Ms. Rogers misses you a lot, but we're having so much fun in Sweden! Today I want to show you Ms. Rogers' most favorite place in all of Sweden: Trädgårdsföreningen! But you can just call it Garden Society Park!

Here we are at the bus stop. Ms. Rogers and I use the buses to get everywhere! 

 This is us at the park entrance! They have a lot of cool stuff here like a fountain, a gazebo, and even a restaurant made out of a greenhouse!

This Lion is the official mascot of Linköping so you see these everywhere! It's kind of like jaguar pawprints at your school! I wonder why no one has an elephant mascot?

Now this is my favorite part of the park: THE PLAYGROUND!!!

Swedish playgrounds have these amazing round swings you can ride with your pals!

Believe it or not this is actually a basketball court! They use astroturf or fake grass so you don't scrape your knee when you trip! Smart thinkin' Sweden!

After the playground we like to go for a hike. These stairs look like something out of a story book to me! They lead to a whole other part of the park that is surrounded by forest. Perfect for adventurers like me!

 

We always have a fun time exploring the woods. We've seen lots of jackrabbits here and its the perfect spot for bird watching which is very popular in Sweden

Did you know that Sweden isn't the actual name of the country? That's just what we call it in America. It's real name is Sverige (pronounced svair-ee-uh). America does that with a lot of countries. For example Japan is actually named Nihon (pronounced nee-hoan). 

I hope you liked my pictures! I'll write again soon!
