Here is a shot of us from Stockholm that my sister in law took on our first night there.
This was a simply amazing trip - the land was pristine and even the subways were clean. The museums outdid anything we have in the states and the Stockholm pass allowed us to see a bit of everything wihtout spending a fortune.
What made this trip worthwhile, though were the people.
The Delvert family who welcomed us into their homes - their sailboats, their cars and their lives. They showed us part of Sweden that you just can't get from a guidebook.
Odd that we live so very far apart and yet, they love thier families, the brothers tell jokes and tease one another, the mothers tell their kids to eat, we throw water balloons and shoot BB guns and grill hotdogs while the summer light fades later and later. We talk of love and life and politics and spending money while drinking wine and listening to the midsummer rain over the porch.
