We woke had breakfast at the Hotel, which consisted of a Swedish smorgasbord. Cereals, eggs, sausages, meatballs, four different herrings, cold cuts, salmon, fruits vegatables, breads, but not many sweets, like we do for breakfast buffets.
We then checked out of the hotel, went to the airport, and picked up Ken and Hillary, all very routine. The Swedish roads and airports are very organized and similar to the U.S. After returning to the house, we let Ken and Hillary get some rest and shower, while we went to the grocery store. We watched prices carefully, as some of the things are extremely expensive by our standards. We spent about $70 and got enough food for a couple of dinners, breakfasts and assorted snacks, cheeses etc. Not too bad. We then grilled chicken and had our usual strawberry dessert. Of course, before this, we had our aquavit and skolled to our adventure!
The neightbors give us the strawberries for free as Inger and Per have helped them with their business. Inger helped with planting and Per helped them with some computer set up and other business issues. We also received a call from Jason on Skype, so through the magic of computers, we were able to have a video phone call from Sweden to San Francisco. Quite cool.
We are happy Ken and Hillary are here again to join us on this adventure.
