Suffice it to say, we had a wonderful time and certainly could have stayed longer!
Today was a holiday for all of Sweden. The Monday after Easter is always taken off, despite the fact that Swedish is quite a non-religious country and few people are actually celebrating the real reason for Easter. The traditional celebration of Easter here is interesting despite the fact that we missed most of it. It involves witches, the devil, egg hunting and basically, trick or treating! You can read all about it on this link.
God was smiling on us today and we had an absolutely perfect day! Temperatures in the 60's, almost no wind and non-stop sunshine. We have some of the bluest skies that I have ever seen around here and everyone takes full advantage. I have never seen so many people appreciate the sunshine and outdoors as they do here.
We took a long walk to the waterfront today, walked along the cherry blossom trees which are now in full bloom, and then caught the ferry to one of the islands before catching the tram home.
With this beautiful city and weather, we feel like we cheated! Like we came home from a vacation to a vacation!
We have been very distracted however as we have been talking and talking with Tabitha about her college decision. She has some wonderful options which just make the decision harder. We then also got an offer on our Batesville house so we are busy with our own decisions and negotiations! Whew, mentally exhausting!
