day trip



Took a day trip to visit one of Anna's classmates who comes to Sweden every other year with his family to see his grandfather. Hopped on a train at Central Station and went to Läggesta (about a 40 minute ride) where we met up with our Berkeley friends. Visited the Gripsholm medieval castle in Mariefred. Then they took us to their house. They are staying in an old vicar's house at the Åker church. Kids got to pick berries, ride a bike around the church and even took a dip in the waters of the archipeligo. It was a welcome change of scenery to get out into the Swedish countryside after two weeks of urban living.

Wonderful picures. Your camera likes getting out of the city as well. The eyes and look as they peer into the camera make the kids seem identical, not to mention hair color. Amazing. Only thing missing: a pix of Margaret.

Susan saw all the pictures today. She says you all look great, it looks like you're having a wonderful experience, and she enjoys this convenient window into your lives.

So you had a nice trip. How nice to see Berkeley
friends in Sweden so far away.

Girls look beautiful and I love them very much.
Did you learn any Swedish? You have been
there over two weeks.

So happy you are all having this experience! Must have been really nice to connect with friends from home too. What a small world.

I notice the same wildflowers blooming in the countryside there are also blooming here. Don't know why that surprises me. I guess this is part of my education too.

I agree Seun...the girls are beautiful and I miss them so much.
My love to all of you!
