while in Sweden we tried a lot of Swedish things - i love this!

kubb is a Swedish game where the objective is to knock down the oppositing teams knights with wooden sticks but not knock down the king.

shooting some hoops was also on the cards...however, not so Swedish

raindrops keep falling on my head: Sweden

on arrival into Sweden, the weather was less than desirable. 

the closest i've ever been to Sweden is IKEA and that itself is amazing.

we're staying with some old friends of Gene's in the countryside about 30 minutes north of Gothenburg.

so far, i love it.
