Nasta, Enskede Gård

Took 5 hour journey to Stockholm by car on Sunday. Rode with Lars' cousin, Magnus, and his girlfriend. The Swedish countryside is absolutely beautiful - simple, pristine & bright! Saw 2 moose and a red fox along the way...stopped at Burger King for lunch, my chauffeurs ate the "Big Angus"and was astonished to see a Toys 'R Us!

Met up with my friend, Karin and am staying with her, her husband, Anders and 2 young children, Elsa (2.5 yrs) and Viktor (6 mos). Last evening we sat outside for dinner...young Elsa ate blood pudding...that's the first time I've ever seen that in person! Little Elsa just loved it and was in heaven when she dressed it with Ligonberry jelly.

Today Karin, Viktor and I took the tube into Stockholm city and visited Gamla Stan. I love this city! Did quite a bit of shopping yet didn't really buy a thing. I fell in love with a coat which I might just have to purchase tomorrow!

Gotta catch dinner now...more to come later. Photos will be uploaded once I return to Knäred.

Craving of the Day: an unlimited supply of Swedish kronor (will get me a lot farther than the American dollar)!!
