MidSummer's Eve!

We went to the Adermark's house to celebrate with their family and best friends in the traditional Swedish way today. After dancing around the May Pole with the kids in the park, we had mackrel, hot and cold smoked salmon, 5 types of herring prepared by Louise, home-made breads and crisp breads, Swedish cheeses, Swedish "new potatoes" with dill, and strawberry cake. Of course we also had snaps of all flavors, each accompanied by a Swedish song around the table. It was truly an evening with the locals!

Gotenburg, Sweden

Joe and I are in Sweden! Gotenburg is fabulous -- it has a very small town feel. We've eaten great seafood with our friends here, we've gone to the City Museum and had delicious coffees. We're off to do more now!
