... 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!

Hey all,<br>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 ...

... do you find a single gravesite in 100 acres? Well, me with my pigeon Swedish managed to confer to the attendant (who knew no English) that I needed to find the Frejd Family grave. We did find it and it was quite an emotional moment for me. I Had not been there for 43 years, since the day we buried my Father. Having relived all the memories of family and childhood we set out for Oslo, of course on the wrong road. Thank goodness one of us was smart enough to turn on ...

... 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.

... satisfying and meaningful events for my wife Beverly and me because we feel that our support of these children has turned throwaway kids who would have no future now would become human beings with dignity. We have been able to see the marvelous fruits in the past seven years and we were so happy to realize a project this past summer. You can read a posting about this project on the LifeNets Web ...

... is and he says two miles, it is really 12 US miles. That happened to us when we were in Luleå, Sweden last January. The weather is bright, sunny and warm and the temperature is above average. It is good to meet people we've known and new people as well. It was wonderful to see our Karen brethren from Norway and Finland arrive. K Paw Gay and her husband Hteser came from Trondheim with two ...

Via hällregn (som en dusch!) som medgav en hastighet på ca 70 km/ h på en finfin 110-väg nådde vi till slut Falun. Hälsades välkomna av Alex & Lina som dukade upp en strålande middag med jordgubbsdaiquiris, ingefärsgrillade scampi och hemmagjord mockaglass. Sedan blev det dags för en spelomgång i " Ticket to ride" där det gällde att bygga järnväg kors & tvärs över Europa enligtett intrikat regelverk. Mycket roligt även om värdinnan hade den dåliga smaken att vinna :-) Nu läggdags!

Nu har förberedelserna pågått ett tag. Böcker om Kina skall läsas, ett antal googlingar på platser som kan vara av intresse. Mycket kretsar kring allt jag hoppas hinna med vid sidan av studierna. Det visar sig väl så småningom vad tid jag har för allt annat. Snart börjar studierna här hemma på högskolan, och då får jag väl den första känslan för vad det är jag gett mig in på, - att lära mig kinesiska.

I went to Sweden to visit a friend of a friend! We had a great time - I was staying with him at his University Halls and made loads of really great new friends from all over the world. It snowed, it rained, it flooded - and then it for so hot we were sunbathing! I had a fantastic time visiting the local museums, getting drunk, getting to know more about traditional Swedish culture and came home with many great memories.
