Swedish Road Trip in Pictures

Yesterday, we were planning to go flyfishing but it turned out to be too windy. Instead, we made an unplanned stop at a Nordic castle/fort, Bohus , that was built in 1308 and never penetrated over the course of more than 300 years and 14 sieges. We took a pit stop at a Swedish cookie factory to stock up on some goodies . After a delicious lunch which included Swedish meatballs and cod , we strolled back to the car, taking a few photos along the way , and headed to Skärhamn , an idyllic town on the coast . Skärhamn is home to the Nordic Watercolour Museum which fortunately is now featuring an exhibition of watercolor paintings by Andrew Wyeth (more on Wyeth later). In addition to gorgeous rock formations, the sea , blackberries and at least one curious rode sign , Skärhamn is also home to a smiling church . I can never pass up an opportunity to eat crab , so out came the Krona for several huge and tasty crab claws . On the way back, we went through Gothenburg for a dinner of herring and a northern Sweden quesadilla. I fortunately didn't get run over while mistakenly walking in the bike lane .

All in all, an excellent day with wonderful people.
