Stockholm here we come!


We just moved here!
Stockholm, Sweden, Europe.

We just moved to the south side ("Söder") of the inner part ("innanför tullarna") of the city: In the trendy part called SoFo, with lots of restaurants, clubs, shopping streets and other activites (hot tubbing outdoors is cool this time of year!). It is pretty snowy and cold right now, and the open water around the city has turned to ice (perfect for open sea ice-skating!) but it will be even more beautiful when spring comes.

Movin', movin', movin'

It is cold in Sweden in January! Tara is posing in front of the ruins of Brahehus castle, near the town of Gränna. (The castle was erected in 1640 by Per Brahe Jr. and destroyed by fire in 1708.)

"On the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again"

"On the road again
Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
We're the best of friends
Insisting that the world be turnin' our way"

Joakim is filling up some diesel for our moving truck. It was a cold and snowy weekend, and after being caught in a snowstorm up on the highlands of Småland, we had to find shelter for the night at a remote little motel. Needless to say, our truck got very dirty and we must have used at least 5 gallons of windshield wiper fluid during our trip between Lund and Stockholm!

All our furniture is in the back of this truck...
