The return to the beginning As you all know, when travelling the world it is easy to forget your own homeground and why you live there in the first place. I am not implying Stockholm to be the most beautiful place as such a place only exist in our own preferences. However, I think it would be nice for all my international friends, that I have met and shared great experiences with, to see some of Stockholm. I have made a new gallery for Sweden where I´ll update you with photos of here. I have also added some pictures to the other galleries as I have more time to do such stuff now. For me the secret to happiness has become to live, eat, meet, speak, think, love, and explore as if I am constantly travelling. ... read more

Fan, här sitter man och tvingar i sig morotssoppa baserad på burk-puré. Japp, hemma igen, men med magont som farväl från Israel! Detta inlägg är alltså till som en avslutning och sammanlänkning av hela resan. Att avsluta i Tel Aviv var nyttigt. Vi träffade alltså dels de två organisationerna Zochrot och Kav La'Oved, men också folk som jobbade/hängde på "Veggie bar", det vegetariska bokkaféet (om man hittar Kung Georges gata, så ligger det på en tvärgata vid nr 18, en bit in på tvärgatan). Eftersom hela landet i övrigt är så sjukt genomsyrat av säkerhetskontroller, samt de ogästvänliga personer jag berättade om sist, så var dessa människor en skön kontrast. När jag kom in på veggofiket på fredagen, så frågade jag först vad de hade på menyn (den var bara på hebreiska), då frågade killen bakom ... read more

This past weekend we held a house party to celebrate Linn's birthday. There were 16 people who came for dinner and 7 who stayed overnight. Friday, Linn and I prepared by cleaning, grocery shopping and cooking. She made this fabulous bread... (yes, I am planning to get the recipe). Saturday was again spent preparing... Imagine peeling, cooking, and chopping 5 kg of potatoes?! The guests arrived between 6:00 and 7:00... luckily the rain had stopped and we were able to eat outside. We served potato salad, tossed salad, bread, cheese (Greve... my favourite!!), and a meringue cake for dessert (everyone brought their own meat). It started getting chilly at around 10:00, so we moved inside... and stayed there until 3:00am when the last of us went to bed. All I'm going to say about the evening ... read more

Another weekend where I was overcome by a wave of tradition. Tommy picked Linn and I up from work at 3:30 on Friday and we drove up to Leksand to meet Ylva (her and a few friends from the choir had rented a house for the week prior to the concert). We dropped Tommy off and then Linn and I headed to Mårsgården. Everything looked exactly as I remembered it... We ran into the usual problem of not knowing which house to go to (there are 24 buildings)... Finally after a few tries we located Kiki and Bengts house, only to discover that they weren't home. While we were pondering what to do, they arrived (had only been down swimming). We had a lovely dinner with them and they spoke mostly Swedish (and I understood!!). They're ... read more
