Waterfront in Stockholm
Ingvar, Ingrid and Maureen at the Vasa ship museum.
Sweden is a lovely country and reminded us a lot of the area around the Whiteshell as far as the topography. Lots of rock and water...Stockholm being a mass of islands with bridges and waterfront. The Baltic sea is a short drive away and we spent one day at the coast....many harbors and fishing boats. We bought some smoked herring and had coffee and cake in one shop.
For Brian and Sandy we have the Swedish prayer on video with Ingvar at supper time..when we then had traditional Swedish smoked herring
(stremming) and other types of herring in brine as an appetizer...during this, they rang a little bell, sang a Swedish song and had a little 'skol' (pronounced shoal) or as we would say 'cheers'. A great way to have our last dinner together.
Earlier that afternoon we met Anna and her daughter Elana....her older daughter, Mika is 17, and was getting ready for graduation and could not join us...... She has a birthday in Novemeber and looks just like Katie....you will see the pictures! We are not kidding.
We left Sweden on Sunday morning and have arrived in Germany with our friends Frank and Katrin.
