Jag tillbringade tre dagar i Sverige.

My first impression of Sweden, it's very nice and green

Lizzie wrote 2 great posts about Sweden and our trip with SAS. So I'll just be adding some pictures. Mia lives in the town of Uppland Vasby, in a very nice and spacious apartment, with lovely views of the forest.
This is a picture of the living room very nice and open, with large windows. I slept on one of the sofas with a nice warm down blanket (to the right)
The next day, June 1st, we had a lovely breakfast in her cheery dining area. Then we drove around, met her younger son Emil, bought luscious strawberries, and had a delicious lunch of authentic Swedish meatballs! (Mia makes the best ones!!!)
We had lots of thigs to talk about and it was a nice time. Later we went to Stockholm to meet the rest of the family, at a great Hasselbacken Hotel/Restaurant. We met Helen, Mia's sister, and her husband, and their well-behaved dog), Danniel Mia's oldest son, and Jona and her son Eddie, and of course Emil, Mia, Lizzie and me. 
                               Danniel, Emil, Helen and dog, Mia, me, Lizzie, Jona and Eddie
                                                                     Helen and her husband
                                                            Happy Mia with all her family

Our scrumptious dinner

That was a fun day with great food and great people. It was so nice to meet Mia's family

The next day, we drove to Stockholm to go on a archipelago cruise
Emil, me, Lizzie, Mia and Danniel
                             We passed through some islands and saw interesting buildings

                                                                we had lunch on board
Enjoying the views

On the drive back to Vasby, we stopped at Roserberg Palace, where Mia used to work, unfortunately it was closed. We also drove around where Hasse used to work.



By the time we got back, we were pretty tired, so we stopped at a bakery to get some fika goodies. Fun fact: In the Swedish summer the sun stays up for a long time, There's never really nightime. 
 
In the morning, we had another nice breakfast, Lizzie packed my bag, and hers, and we got ready to go to Arlanda, to take the plane to Barcelona

THANK YOU MIA for being such a good hostess, it was lovely to meet your family and Sweden
