Sweden!
It’s summer, and that means finally some opportunity to do some travel. After working with Robin during Winterim last November, I was happy take him up on his invitation to visit him in Sweden. So here I am. Somewhere in Sweden, “up north,” Robin calls it. At a little cottage in a beautiful, remote area of the country. It is hilly and covered in pines and green forest land. And a river runs through it. It is a great little place, away from the hustle and bustle — but thankfully, it has good mobile coverage, and we are using Robin’s iPhone to gain access to the Internet. There’s one thing that I guess we just can’t (won’t?) leave behind.
It is also raining. And hasn’t stopped for long since we arrived. Oh well, can’t control that. After settling in, we went to a little creek and attempted to catch some fish. I caught two, but they were too little to hang on to. Robin had a little better luck. More fun was that I got completely soaked, as I didn’t quite bring the right clothes to be out in the rain. Again, not a problem. Clothes and people dry out.
Friday morning we ventured out on a hike, the rain almost stopping for a little while. We took some photos along the way, discovering that the snowmobile trail we wanted to follow was a bit too water-logged. On the way back we found a different trail, and got off the road a bit. After some lunch and a nap, the rain returned with much gusto. So we just sat back, relaxed some more, and got to take a longer nap. Aw, darn.
Tomorrow it is back to Sala, where we hope to do some night photography. Both of us are happy to have an excuse to set aside other things for once and get the cameras out. Usually it’s the other way around.
