In 1976, I visited Dalarna for the first time. This weekend, I got to go back. It looked exactly the same! There were some great changes, but it looked the same. I was really looking forward to seeing my host parents, Hans Erik and Barbro Forsberg. I was able to spend a lot of time with them and enjoy the company. Unfortunately, it rained the entire weekend, up until we got in the car to leave.
Dalarna is similar to the county, and Rättvik is the town this was near.When I was here before, I was able to enjoy the Midsummer festivities, this time, I was a few weeks late.
Eva suggested that we take in a bit of the local sites, so we visited the Carl Larson house. Carl Larson is one of the most famous Swedish painters. We also stopped in at the Dala Horse factory in Nusnäs. Since I still have my clogs and Dala Horses, I managed to come away without buying anything.
The weekend, while very wet, was a lot of fun and I really was glad to visit with my host parents, and of course, Eva and her family.
Tomorrow, is my last day with Eva, Jesper & Anna. I will be going to stay with Mimmi on Monday night.
