... the car for about a half an hour we decided to take a walk around. On the way back we noted that several of the cars had signs saying RONNE on them and all the cars were German. Deciding to ask someone, Bruce approached a young fellow asking if this was the freey to Trellborg, Sweden and............. He said NO! We hurried to the car realizing we were in the wrong departure area and the ferry was leaving in about 10 min. We found the ...

Easy day to adjust to the jet lag. We began the morning with a lovely walk through the woods without encountering any magical beast... although some moss seemed to attack us. The weather has been very good for Sweden at this time of year...thank you global warming...not everyone hates you! Sunny and cool. We left the town of Kvillsfors (a very, very small town) to go to the nearby ...

... would have not been bad as a place to be stuck to sleep in. There was also a huge woodden statue of a moose! We ate some more and relaxed on the grass before moving and finally got our ride... a guy who was driving all the way to the north, so we were about to reach Jonkoping and we could have done Stockholm in a day too. But we were going to sleep at Maria in a village near Jonkoping which was still few hundreds km. I talked with him most of the ride while ...

Today we woke up with a feeling of anxiousness regarding the Good News seminar to be held at 1:30 PM today. We are hoping that this event go well. But, before the seminar, Bernt and Olga Saxin along with their son Stefan come over from near Gothenburg, Sweden. They wanted to have a visit and we talked for about an hour and a half. Then, all of us walked about 20 minutes to the meeting hall. I was ...

We are really enjoying spending our time with Paul and Kira as well as Solveig Hammar who came down from Stockholm yesterday. Today, we just took it easy around the house and around town. In the morning Paul and I discussed out Good News seminar tomorrow and setup for the literature display, video camera and mp3 recorder. We worked on the introductions and what information about the Church should be mentioned. We are ...

... a father wrote about his dead son. Then we saw a woman's monastery built by the French in the 12th century. From there to a castle built by Gustavus the First in the 1500's and finally a noted Church in Vadstena built by Catholics that is now Lutheran. The Lutheran Church is the official State Church, but it has the air and trappings of the Catholic Church. At 3:30 pm Solveig Hammar arrived from Stockholm on a bus to spend the weekend ...

... a deep reflection on traveling and how the trip really did change my outlook on life, but I'll wait and write that until after I'm done traveling. When will I return to the 'real world'? When will I get tired of living out of a suitcase, uncertain of what time it really is? When will enough be enough? I'll let you know when that time comes:) In the meantime, I've got some blank pages in my passport to fill ...

... Stockholm was grand and the countryside (despite seeing no moose whatsoever) was delightful in the summer warmth. These Aussies went south with their Viking leader, to conquer more southern regions in the Jonkoping (pron. Yunshopping) area. Ducks were hunted on the great lakes, moose chased fruitlessly in the woods. Then one evening their leader ...

... us to come into his hous eout of the cold. He had some freshly filtered coffee and cheese waiting for us, wonderful. He doesnt get many visitors so was happy to have us. Maybe i should go and visit him again. We drove to Stockholm, we only had a day there, which isnt enough because Stockholm is a very beautiful city, the river was frozen so you could walk over it. it was nice.
