... was time to leave) but we got off to a pretty good start. Our guide was very knowledgible, able to answer any of the questions that people were asking. We started off at Tourist information and headed down Skeppsbron and Cramérgatan to Almadalen where we got a quick overview of the history of the island. After that we wandered to the wall and saw a few different interesting sites before making our way back to the church. It was ...

... Fantastisk fika! Gick också ytterligare en plåtlåda plus, härliga tider! Avsked och sedan vidare mot Stockholm. Stannade på vägen till i Ängelsberg med anor från 1300-talet då bergsmannen Englika grundade denna bruksort (dagens andra världsarv!).

... seem to be completely with it at the same time. I'm absolutely amazed, but we all hop in a van taxi (first time I've gotten into a car since getting to Vasteras) and go to the "after-party". I don't know what to expect, so I'm a bit curious when we get into an apartment building where I hear no noise and see no people. After a short knock, the apartment door opens up and we are immediately sucked into this ...

... work party was at, only this time the live band has changed and the crowd's average age has fallen from 50 to 25... A dance floor has now replaced the long 50-person tables that lined the bar earlier in the evening and the floor is absolutely packed. Everyone is way too nice to me and I wind up "relatively" intoxicated by the time I hit my bed at, let's say, 5 am, to be nice... oh and the sun is up already at this point!

... in one place, jumping and barking like mad to get going. I don't know how it's bred into the dogs but they jump and throw themselves forward furiously against the harness of the sled and have to be physically restrained, otherwise they just take off - it's amazing though, as soon as they take off they go completely silent. I was there on the final afternoon of the 3-day event so there was lots of excitement as to who the winners would be. There were teams from many ...

Wanting to see more of Sweden, we planned a few days driving north of Stockholm, however the car decided to have a broken timebelt which we only fixed in the nick of time so we ended up with one day to drive. We decided to head for Västerås to see some viking stone ship settings. The weather wasn't great but it was very interesting and we managed to fit in a couple of caches. (www.geocaching.com)

I'm engaged! Its amazing how quickly these things happen! You walk into an immigration office with a friend and you walk out with a fiancé. Just like that! This is how it happened: It all started innocently enough: a few days ago Jonas and I were discussing my plans for Europe, when the subject of visas came up. I told him that I had spoken to a man at the beginning of my trip who believed that there might be a limit to how long I could stay in the E.U. perhaps ...

An Email to my mother which expounds futher upon my Fugitive status.....poor Mom. Dear Mom, I write bearing good news and bad news: The Good news: I am feeling much better and my cough is going away. Bad news: Your daughter is a fugitive. How is it, you may wonder, that the product of 26 years of love, guidance and nurturing the fruit of your flesh, your very own daughter has become lowly debased criminal on the run from the law? Well Mom, ya see, there is this "thing," faction ...

... a mother and her calf to be specific. On further investigation that day we tracked them again for a while and also spotted one other bigger guy before he ran away too. They usually aren't that concerned by people in the proximate area, which may indicate that one of us needed a shower something..? Anyway, that mission was deemed ...
