2019 Spring Trip to Sweden Complete

Arrived in Tucson late last night from our 2019 Spring trip to Sweden. Spending lots of time with our three beautiful granddaughters never get old. Scout is now 6 and speaks both Swedish and English well. She at times acted as our interpreter, the Swedish adults enjoyed seeing a little girl do that for her grandparents!

We took a 2 day side trip to the Swedish island of Gotland. Visby’s old town is definitely old Europe ! Cobblestone streets, quaint shops, charming restaurants, and great pubs with delightful beer! 

The trip is a three hour ferry trip out of Nynäshamn. The cost is very reasonable, as Jesper told me the ferry’s are part of the highway system, thus the government keeps the cost down.

May 6th, 2019 2 weeks down, 2 weeks to go!

This trip we’re finding out about the beginning of the midnight sun, we’re not quite there yet, but by 4:30am it’s pretty bright out! Abby and I got out last week to Skansen, the Stockholm natural history park and zoo. We’ve been there often , always planning to have dinner, and of course we have Swedish meat balls, mashed potatoes, and lingonberries, which is always a must when we come here!

Now for some more photos!
