Our visit to Gotland

I fell in love with Gotland. We stayed in a wonderful bed and breakfast right outside the walled city of Visby. It is an amazing medival city that has a beautiful sea wall and then the town is built on a hill.

We took a 3 hour ferry and walked to our B&B from the boat...passing and sampling one of the many ice cream shops. I could have walked around Visby for days - the churches, the flowers overflowing from hanging baskets, the 700 year old wall around the city, the cobble stone streets.

We had some delicious food (big portions which we haven't seen since leaving the USA) and rode bikes every where.

We enjoyed a great summer in Stockholm with BBQ's overlooking the Baltic and we even ran in the "famous" Midnight Sloppet race. It is in south Stockholm on an island called Sodermalm. There were 13,000 running this 10K race and we started running at 10:40 PM. The race path was lit by candels part of the way and weaved on a pedestrian path and then through a large street in south Stockholm. It was perfect temperature to run and Dwight and I had a blast.














I can not believe it has been almost a month since our last entry. Wow - how time flies when school starts and you have family in town!

William is happily adjusting to school starting and his long summer days ending. His teacher, Mrs Jonsson is wonderful. He has two new students in his class. Another American - Max whose father works for the US Embassy and a
Swedish girl - Vendela who is just learning English.

Below are two photos from our summer trip to the south of Sweden. It was barely warm enough at night for the boys to wear there only matching outfits :-).
