I am in Ljustorp, which is about 30 min up north from that shopping center where Ikea is Birsta I think. The weather is nice now, when I first got here it was still cold. In new york is like 80f everyday you know so it is a big change. what are you doing for midsummer?

I am in Sweden now, and I will be here for couple of months, so lets go out!! ;o)

Thanks for getting back, yes I enjoy the cities, but I also like to visit the coastline and beautiful village life. So I will be looking to visit both the north and the south of Sweden to get a sense of the fuller picture surrounding the country. Take care and thanks for this, I know you are busy, best wishes, chris

Hi Tausha, thank you for accepting my invitation; I really appreciate that! I wanted to tell you how I was touched my your story and I really admire the way you adapt yourself to the land. For someone like me who never actually stayed anywhere too long, it's almost impossible to see the other side of places that I visit! Thanks again for sharing your story. Regards, Aim :)
