All visitors to Sweden should experience that summer cottage feeling! Accordingly, the group packed their thermal underwear, swim trunks, shorts and rain coats and headed to Tobias’ family’s cottage in Värmland. All outfits came to good use since we had typical Swedish summer weather – blue sky followed by rain, and then glorious weather when we had to leave. Just like every year.
View from the veranda on day 1…. and day 2…
Germs, lizards and field work cut our numbers this time. But the rest of us had a great time – relaxing, birding, fishing, swimming, and beaver watching, enjoying local art exhibitions, cultural history, snaps, and grillkvällar… or, to quote Yang: “we managed to do and see everything we were promised – and in addition we watched the Champion’s League final!”
What can we catch here – pike? perch? pikeperch?… hang on, what did you just say!?
Yang and Roman are off for an adventure! They did come back eventually.
A beaver with unfinished business, perhaps the one that swam past this morning?
Summer lunch with traditional food, snaps and songs. The students are getting younger every year…
