Happy Valentine Day!

Valentine Day is not as big a deal here in Sweden.  There are some signs in a few shop windows announcing Alla Hjartan Dag (all hearts day) on 14/2.  The grocery stores have small displays of chocolate and flowers.  The flower vendor in Ostermalmstorg, who disappeared after Christmas, re-appeared this morning with a tent full of roses and a long line of men.  No Valentine parties in class, I think it was mostly the North Americans (Americans and Canadians) who were giving candies and cards to friends.  The Valentine party as SIS was organized by the PTA, consisting of many Americans and Canadians.
