Ken spent the night in town with another student. Now he's on his way to Oslo. I packed up my bike. Everything's soaked after an early morning rain. Left Orebro about 10 am and arrived in Askersund without a stop.Went into town for lunch of sausage, French Fries, milk and bread and butter. Set up tnet north of town and read until dark.
For the first time in my life I am genuinely homesick. It's a terrible feeling, especially for a boy trying to turn into a young man. I wish I were home again. Here I am in Sweden, beautiful Europe, and there's no place like home. I suppose this is all due to the fact that I haven't seen the sun in a week. Tiring work, cycling as I do is no work for the weak of heart or soul. I haven't had a friend, or warm bed, or home cooked meal since Lennert's flat, but I shall in three days.
I won't be able to attend Mass tomorrow. There's no Catholic church around. But I ask God to give me strength in these times of weakness.
Mileage: Orebro to Askersund 53 km, 33 miles
Expenses: Lunch 1.85
