Day 4

 DAY 4

We woke up today around 8:30 and we got breakfast at the hotel. After we ate we got ready for the cultural festival, and soccer game. The cultural festival was close and we were able to walk. There were so many different things we could see and do. First we chose to go watch people perform tricks.
It was so amazing to see how the dancers were able to balance on top of really high poles doing tricks. We also went to get some food. We sent Nicole to get the food because it was crowded and we thought she would be able to talk to the sellers.
 Then we headed off to the soccer game around 2PM. We watched IFK play, and guess what they won!
The fans were going wild and it was an unforgettable experience to be so involved in the atmosphere produced when a country shares together a victory.

Did you know that IFK is arguably the most successful club in Sweden? IFK currently rank in the highest Swedish league, Allsvenskan, where they have played for the majority of their history. It was also founded October 4th, 1904! So its 109 years old! Best soccer game we've ever been to!
After the soccer game, which started at 3PM and ended at about 5PM. We headed back to the Swedish Cultural Festival to experience it during the night again. We had more performances at we loved it! We have to go to bed now because we're driving to Stockholm tomorrow! Can't wait!
