Civics Class:- Students here are recreating different parts of their judicial system.
- They are using Keynote to show each step of the process works, depending on the crime they were assigned.
- They used pictures they had taken to represent the different steps.
- Then they included captions and subtexts to describe what was happening.
World News Class:- Here students are comparing headlines in their local paper to head lines around the world.
- In honor of our visit they were comparing their paper to the Omaha World Herald.
- The main news story that matched between the two was the presentation of the Nobel Prize for Literature given out today in Sweden.
Lunch at School:- Spaghetti and meat sauce

- The meat sauce was not your typical red sauce, but it was great!
Dinner at the Hwatin Hotel in Falkenberg- Mashed potatoes and carrots
- Wild pig

- Covered with a gravy
- This was an outstanding meal!
Saying goodbye to Lena & Family:
- This was the end of my time in the company of my host family.
- I will miss them all very much and hope to return someday.
- Their hospitality was greatly appreciated and it made being away from everyone in Nebraska, especially my wife Sam, easier.
- Thank you for everything you will be missed dearly.
All that is left now is to return to Stockholm and present to Apple what we learned. This going to be really fun because I learned so much. I could talk for hours. After that we have all of Saturday to explore the city of Stockholm and then fly back on Sunday.
