This was my first time in Örebro and it didn't start out good. My first quest was to find food. The location of the one vegetarian restaurant I read about eluded me and I got stuck paying way too much for a tortilla with lettuce and guac at some taco joint. Next I tried to find some of the guys, but with no success. Back at the hotel, I managed to get a hold of Matt who was at the festival with none other than one of my absolute favorite Swedes, the adorable LG of Entombed. I jumped in a taxi and headed out. Now, without a European sim card I lack the luxury of being able to text people when I'm not within wifi range, so upon arrival I searched for the boys... and searched, then searched some more. I hung around long enough for the crowd to spill out then jumped in a taxi back (which was no easy feat either). Annoyed and disappointed I went back to the hotel. One peek into the lobby tho and the night was saved - Biffen! Yet another of my favs :) From that point on, people trickled in and the rest of the night was a blast!
The following day was warm and sunny and I had all day to explore. I'm starting to believe that jogging is the best way to check out a new town. So far, at least in Europe, every time I wind up discovering a beautiful park. In Örebro, it was a botanical garden filled with sculpture and a path conveniently guiding my way. It also took me right up to the city's most exciting feature,Örebro Castle, which as luck would have it gave me an amazing view from my hotel window. To top it off, the festival sent us to a local restaurant for meals, and although they had nothing vegan on the menu, they made me a special dish and it was outstanding. ~If you haven noticed by now, the easiest way to win me over is to feed me well :)
