Hotel Moraparken

... of these fish recipes from her before I forget). Yesterday we drove around Siljansjö, which is a large lake and then checked out the town of Mora and went to a Dalicarlian wooden horse factory. Most of the rest of the time we've been hiking around the area and enjoying scrumptious pastries. So soon my journey will be coming to a close as I return to NY. I hope you all enjoyed my travel blog!

... again in July next year. Bev and I stay another day and won't leave until Monday morning for Stockholm. We spent the afternoon sitting in the warm sun and talking with the few left ....Anthony and Marguarita Miles from Oslo, Solveig Hammer from Stockholm and Paul and Kira Spenser from Mjölby. The length of daylight is long; we spent the rest of the day basking in the success of warm aura of how well this weekend went. Tomorrow on to Stockholm.

... seminars make up for some of that. Our Asian brethren from Norway and Finland were very appreciative of getting together as well. For some it had been years since any kind of meeting. The two families were Klo Gay and Margaret Doh from Kemi, Finland and K Paw Gay and her husband Hteser from Trondheim, Norway who also brought along their children Elvis and Has Mee Hoo. At the Summer Gathering ...

... what's best to do. We know that some would like the Feast in Sweden, but we have to consider what will serve the needs of the brethren, particularly the people in the Baltic Republics and their ability to get to the Feast. Sweden would be out of range for them. The US dollar has taken a terrible hit. Things seem VERY EXPENSIVE. But, the location in this scenic lake region called Dolarna is certainly attractive. Before ...

... There are a few glitches in getting people situated into rooms. The rooms are "smaller" than our expectations. That's all I say. I'm sure we'll get "adjusted" to them. Our opening night meeting started at 6:00 PM. Paul Spenser led songs, I accompanied the hymns and then gave the message titled "What is the Church?." There are people from other Sabbath-keeping groups and I wanted us to be ...

The preparations, packing etc took place at my family's house in Älvdalen, Sweden. I moved all my things here. Not paying rent is important when travelling for long time. Story on At home

Midsommer is celebrated in Sweden every year on the Friday evening between 19 and 25 of June, so this year it was actually one day after summer solstice. It is a big holiday in Sweden - the day is a public holiday and everyone leaves the cities for country or archipeligo homes. I traveled to Dalarna, a county that I was told is one of ...

A nice sunny drive south. Made quite a milage. Tired we rolled into Mora. Parked at the railwaystation by the lake. Walked for a bit, asked round for a good preice on accomodation. Found a Best Western. Had a few beers and settled in for the night.

... aastal polnudki :) Ja kurvad me polnud, sest igal aastal mõtle ikka jälle välja, mida toredat sel õhtul teha - sel aastal seda tegema ei pidanud : See asi ka, et rootslastel jaanipäeva polegi - neil on mingi siuke pidu/püha nagu "kesksuvi" (Midsummer). Ja see on alati reedel - sõltumata aastast. Ja see on neil väga suur pidupäev - korraldatakse igast toredaid asju... AGA reedel olime meie veel Eestis!

... htuks olime me seitsme autoga paljud head kilomeetrid läbinud, ning tundus, et Rootsit on veel ehk 1/3 jagu ida-lääne suunas. Päeval olime me Uppsalast mööda käinud - kurb tegelikult, et sisse ei läinud, a see oleks arvatavasti ligi tervet lisapäeva tähendanud, sest siukeste suurte kottidega linna äärest kiirtee juurest kesklinna vantsida, turisti mängida ja tagasi linna äärde komberdada... Lootsime, et ehk tagasiteel ...
