Are, Sweden

Yep, that's a frozen lake! What a neat day, we learned about the native people of northern Sweden, the Sami, inside a cozy, traditional Sami hut. Our hostess prepared a lovely lunch for us in the hut of reindeer and lingonberry creme on flatbread....think I can get that at IKEA? Probably not...

This really is the house that Grant Wood featured in the famous painting, "American Gothic". There is a visitor's center where you can learn about the artist, and, of course, dress up for a photo!

We visited a screen printing factory in Ostersund! Their fabrics are spectacular, I absolutely love the Scandinavian style.

Church Boat, Sweden

Church Boat, Sweden

We (along with about 15 other people) actually rowed this boat when we were in Sweden. It was really challenging keeping everyone in rhythm - if your oar gets caught in the water, duck!

Vordergereuth, Bayern, Germany

This is the village that the Orlet family lived in in Germany! Behind me is the family home - so neat to be able to visit!
