Going to Sweden
July 23, 2004




Travelling light this time, just a carry-on going on vacation!




Getting picked up at the airport...what a luxury!
[Martina]




her downtown Stockholm apartment




Action packed first night to beat the jetlag; Pernilla, Martina, Cilla, ?? - a dinner party!




Next up, a Gyllene Tider 25 year anniversary concert at Stockholm Stadion.
[Gyllene Tider features Per Gessle from Roxette.]




Sigh...another night in the hallway, as usual... :-P




Morning breaks, and before driving down to the west coast, we enjoy a gorgeous brekfast with the sun beating down outside.
The sun by the way, people say I brought it from California, as they haven't seen it this year before my arrival. What's funny too, my housemate back in CA agrees that I brought it with me when I left...




I arrive at the farm just as the hay is ready to be brought in.




My chunk of the family over there enjoys a festive welcome-home dinner in the garden room.
[Erik, Erika, Jonas, Björn, dad, Martina]




Erika shows me the (now frozen) strange worms that came home through the bananas the other day. They are not native to Sweden, I sure can say that much!
Anyway, Martina and I go shopping and head out sailing for a week.
