... bracelets. I loved that family! Sally and I are going to email each other because she wants to practice her English :)

I love that I have 20 new families around the world. I hope we all keep in touch!

So now I'm in Uppsala, Sweden. Major college town! I'm rooming with Aubrey (AZ) and Lise (France). Our host sister is a college student named Hanna. We live in her corridor with 8 of her friends :) It's awesome! It's like one ...

I concluded my 2 month adventure with a 2 day visit to Anna's aunt Birgitta in Leksand, which is in the traditional Dalicarlian region of Sweden. I should note we had a small delay on the train ride up to Leksand since the train hit a moose, which apparently isn't that uncommon here. Birgitta has been the best host up here taking me around and cooking us the best meals (in fact I have to get ...

... me down of the hippy trip I discovered another rust hole in the floor plan just on the foot step up into the drivers side cabin.
Lizzie made an intereswting observation, we seem to be the only campers with a "hippy van"....in other words, we don't see any other real campers (either type T1/2, T25 or T4's). They all seem to be the retiree type vans or caravan and car set-ups.
So Lizzie writes, we drove to Karlstad which is the capital of Varmland. A nice city by the lake and ...

Hey all,
I went to uppsala which was a forty minute train ride because there was a few things I wanted to see there and where happened to be my hotel. Uppsala had actually burned down a while back and was rebuilt. It is smaller than I expected. I saw the castle there (not too spectacular) but the botanical gardens (part of the castle) was. It was beautiful.

... soon and head out to Orebro and my family's hometown..... Arriving in Orebro at about 6:00 we fist went to the "mushroom" Orebro's city water tower, a place I remember well from my childhood. From there you could look out and see all of Narke. After freezing our as.... off about at about 200 ft. above ground we went in search of our hotel which we paid about $75.00 for. Arriving there we found what looked like a long 2 story diner. Entering with ...

... there five other times but held only four, due to the breakout of the second World War. They were cancelled in 1940 due to invasion of the Nazie troops. You will notice though the Nazi flag is shown in the picture of the Championship dysplay. It has also hosted many of the Nobel Peace Prize award ceromonies. It was so nice to arrive in our room ready to watch a bit of TV and relax after a long tireing drive in the rain. The only problem was that unless you ...

... what a pleasant surprise to look at the itinerary again! Sleep in, yay!

Packing right is a challenge. But I heard you can find clothes in Argentina too, so Im not too stressed :) Im sure Caro dont mind going on a shopping spree.

Soon the adventure begins...

Today was a little more of a relaxing day, trying to get over the full week of traveling.

The day was pretty dull, going to mall in the afternoon, spending way to much time on the computer till supper.

In the evening I went into town to meet up with a friend, and to meet some of her friends. I had never actually met this girl in person before, but we had talked for a couple of years, her ...

... we trecked up the very steep hill to the castle. It was made up of two halves, a more modern half that basically was made up of offices and an older half that was in ruins. The older half also housed a fairly interesting museum. It seemed really cheap to get in, and when we got in I could see why. It was really well done, with interesting explanations about the different parts of the castle. They even provided a pamphlet that described ...

Sen frukost och förmiddagspromenad genom Falun i ny jakt på iPhoneladdare till bilen - samma nesliga resultat som tidigare. Tyvärr var även det utmärkta antikvariatet stängt så vi fick alla trösta oss på Bagarstugan brevid Falu koppargruva (v ...
