A Yummy Midsommer spread:-) - we stuffed ourselves silly
Marea was happy this morning, cause I didn't have to climb over her to
get of bed, so she was able to have a real sleep-in:-)
Once we were up and alive, Birgetta introduced us to a Swedish staple
- a thick, sour milk to go with our cereal. It wasn't too bad at
all!!
As today is the day after mid summer celebrations, the whole country
has the day off to enjoy a lovely summer's day. We took a walk to
Ostersund centre, through the town and across a bridge to the island
of Frösön. Here we found a ski slope, that had great views of
Ostersund and Lake Storjön. It is quite amazing that for almost half
of the year the lake is completely frozen, and becomes a real winter
wonderland with ice skaters and cross country skiing going up and down
the lake. There are even ice roads across the lake to different
islands dotted around. After all, the ferry service can't work, so
why not just drive!!
Dinner was a fantastic family affair, as Linn was home for a summer
holiday, and after dinner we looked through some old slideshows from
the family's trips to the Southern Hemisphere in 1998 and 1989. There
were some great shots of the Verry family and farm.

What an adventure! You guys rock. Daniel do you have family in Sweden then? I love the van. I like "The Red Baron" too, although Eric the Red is quite clever and appropriate too.
Also I voted for "Don't shave: can't wait to see the photos" Also, don't cut your hair either. Go au natural. You can cut and shave next time you need to get a job.
