Well, we have arrived in Öland and it is lovely here. We took the train from Stockholm down to Kalmar, on the east coast. From there, Karin & Jonas picked us up and off to Öland we went. We are at a really nice summer house, that Jonas built for his mother, when he was 18 years old.
We spent the day at the beach yesterday. It was a wonderful hot day and we all spent time in the water, which is VERY cold and of course, sunning ourselves and getting sun burned. I haven't had a burn in years! The beach is not one we are used to. There are rocks instead of sand. It was hard on the feet, but beautiful to see. I had a good time hunting rocks and skipping stones on the water. Picked up a nice one for Laura!
Today, we have more adventures planned. Castles everywhere, so we will explore a few of those. In the 'old' castle, there was a concert that everyone was going to. Status Quo was the band. We didn't attend, but heard the music down in the town. I guess I will have another chance, though, they are in Denmark in 2 weeks. Has anyone heard of Status Quo? They seem to be an older rock band. Not me!
Well, we are off to see some castles.
