Kalmar to Falun

Yesterday we drove nine plus hours from Kalmar to Falun. Kris did all of the driving, bless her heart. We made a couple of stops along the way and that undoubtedly made the trip a little longer.

First we stopped in Doderhult. Mom was thinking that Ernst was from this area but after talking to the pastor, it was decided that this probably wasn't the church. In any case, the church was beautiful.
Here is something that we have noticed. We have only seen one pick up truck and it was a vintage Ford. We have seen only one SUV. Everybody hauls trailers, campers and horse trailers with this little station wagons. We've seen Audis, Volvos, VWs, etc. but no huge vehicles.
We are staying at a wonderful stuga in Falun. Our hosts Eva and Bengt are so gracious and have a wonderful cottage for us. We slept very soundly last night and are really enjoying ourselves. Today we are going to visit Carl Larsson's home and can't wait. I will blog tonight and show you the pictures that we will take.

    Lovely photo's and posts from Sweden. We were also in Dalarna and stayed in the cosy stuga from Eva and Bengt.
    The Zorn paintings are wonderful and also Carl and Karins home.
