Hi all. We heard about the storms in Prescott and hope everyone is well. Today we hiked for about 90 minutes past lakes, and waterfalls and through the forest to a very beautiful and big mansion overlooking the Góta River. I liled all the outbuildings transformed into simple sleeping places for guests but there were also very fancy rooms to stay in at the house itself. You can drive there but it was more fun to hike! We had a wonderful lunch and a guide told us the history of the mansion. President Bush senior has been to this place and Clinton was booked to visit in september 2001 but had to cancel. The girls took a short boat ride at the lake when we got done hiking and Ken swam again in a very cold Swedish lake. Cousin Sture (he was at our wedding) showed us a website that has all of Ken's family tree going back many hundreds of years. Now we can explore more on our own. We got to experience another grocery store but this time we there without help from Swedish family so it took twice as long to find exactly what ar needed. Tomorrow, the local family members have planned a family reunion for all the Lilla Edet crew to meet the "American cousins".
