Aug 4 - Sunday in Stockholm
Linne had never been to the church that was fairly close to her. She agreed to go with me, so it was great - just us girls together on a beautiful Sunday morning. Unfortunately, I have my notes of what this church was tucked in a box, packed away, so I'll have to wait til I'm in Idaho Falls to update this.
It was a beautiful little church with services in Swedish. Of course I didn't understand it, but I enjoyed the spirit and the little bit of music that there was.
 |
| I always enjoy the pipes of the beautiful organs that are in Europe. |
 |
| This was the inside garden and where many old tombs of special people were. |
The three of us then went back to the lake and Rich and Linne went swimming again as it was a gorgeous day. The Swedes take advantage of this short warm season and the beaches are packed.
 |
| "There is sunshine in my soul today - More glorious and bright." |
Rich and I then went on a walk through the area to explore some more of the island.
 |
| We had a map, so it's his job to make sure we don't get lost. |
 |
| We picked some wild blueberries along the way. They were fantastic!! |
 |
| Everything is so green and lush. They get a lot of rain here in Stockholm. |
August is their high season for rain. About 80 mm - over 3 inches for the month.
 |
| Many people have small gardens - this one is in a wheelbarrow. |
 |
| "We're going to miss you - our sweet girl from Stockholm. Thank you for EVERYTHING." |
Next - to Rattvik, where my Swedish ancestors are from. We will be there for a whole week. So many exciting adventures await us there.
