Coffee - you thought I was an addict, but it's a cultural thing

Since we started staying with family, the time we spend walking around has dropped off and the time we spend eating and drinking coffee has increased exponentially. Yesterday (now, that I am typing this finally, actually over a week ago) we have coffee with goodies four times!!! Once when we said goodbye to Birgitta and Britt, once after lunch with Arne's family, once after berry picking and swimming, and once at their son Henric's house after dinner. Today (a week ago) we have already had coffee three times. With breakfast, at Gunilla's house and by the lake before we caught the train to Goteborg. I am not one to complain about coffee, but this Swedish tradition of drinking coffee and eating pastries and cookies when you meet with friends gets a little out of control when ALL YOU DO is meet with friends!
