Hi world! I'm vlogging again cuz
even though August is over and VEDA is technically over,
I started one or two days late,
and besides which, today I have something interesting to say!
I'm going on a hike with my dad!
And most likely it'll up at Guanella Pass in Colorado,
which is above the timberline, and yeah!
It's going to be so cool!
So I'm on my way to my mom and dad's house,
and uh gonna pack up some stuff there,
put on some suntan lotion and stuff like that,
and I thought I'd mention
we hike maybe a little differently than other Americans,
because we're Swedish,
and of course, what do you think a Swede
would take with them when they go hiking?
Coffee. Yes. If you guessed coffee, you were right!
Unless maybe you are Uber Athletic Swedish Person
which we are not.
So we are going on a semi-strenuous hike,
And the last time we did this which I think was
maybe two years ago, we brought coffee.
And when we took our little rest break before turning back,
it was so nice to sit by this little pond and have coffee.
And a little fika or sandwiches- I think we had sandwiches,
and I'm bringing brownies,
also very important when you go on a hike.
Bring brownies. And coffee.
And electrolyte tablets! (laughs)
I am probably just a mix of healthy and unhealthy, at all times.
So I will probably take some video from our hike,
I have no idea how shy my dad will be for the camera,
knowing this will be projected to the WHOLE WORLD!
Or all 8 or 9 of my subscribers. Heheh so, you may or may not see my dad.
But we will see. He's not as shy as my boyfriend is. So. Um
My whole family is not as shy.
But knowing it will be projected to the whole world,
may make a difference.
(Dad)[Swedish] Tar du nån?= Are you taking any [picture]? (me) Yes.
(me) Mountain goats! (Dad) Nu! Fort fort! =Now, fast fast!
(me) I am. It's video. (Dad) OK. Because someone's passing.
(me) OK. It's going- I got it. (Dad) OK.
(me) Hello!) (Dad) Skall vi köra? =Shall we drive?
(me) Yeah. (Dad) Ok. Kan du inte ta foto? = Can't you take a picture?
(Dad) När vi går förbi den här ängen, så tänker jag på Ingvar.=When we go through this meadow, I think about Ingvar [his brother].
(me) Oh! Why is that?)
(Dad) Föratt han låg på magen och -(kort på)- blommor = Because he lay on his stomach [thunder] and took pictures of flowers.
(me) Oh yeah! I thought I remembered lots of flowers in this little place.
(me) Here we are above the tree line! [wind, me breathing heavily]
(Dad) Got him! [took a picture of him]
(me) There he is, hi!
(Dad) A baby! [Swedish] Se hur nyfiken han är? = See how curious he is?
(me) Yeah. He's very close.
[Dad making chirpy noises]
(me) There he is. [The animal makes a noise, my Dad makes a noise, they have a conversation]
(me) heh... hoo!
(me) And we have arrived at Silver Dollar Lake.
(me) With a little glacier.
(me) Little purple flowers. Among the lichen.
(me) We are stopping for our Kaffe Paus [coffee break] (Dad: huh?) and sandwiches.
(me) Lucky person got a fish (Dad) Yah huh.
(me) I'm supposing they will come back for it.
(me) I'm recording even though it was prettier with the light,
seeing all the color in the water.
(me) Got back JUST as it started raining harder!
(Dad) yeah! (laughs)
(me) Yay!
(Dad) speed break [I think that's what he said!]
(me) past the International Shoppe in Georgetown.
That's why there's a Swedish flag there.
And they do the Santa Lucia train here in the wintertime.
