A day of rest

We took today to rest. Taking the day slowly was just what we needed, time to go for a walk, do laundry, read and call home. Judy and I walked around the island.






Later, we went to Lars and Sara's home for dinner. We started dinner inside and moved outside for dessert. Sara is a talented cook.





Sara is a textile artist. You can see the large loom behind her. She dyes wool to create intricate weavings and also embroiders and sews traditional costumes. Here she shows us the detail on the men's shirt.





This one is from the history museum but Sara's work is just as intricate.


Midnight at Malmborg.

    After catching up on all of your postings, I can see why you needed a day of rest! Thanks for sharing your experience this way. I loved the Midsommer photos--they remind me of my childhood when my grandmother exposed us to as much of her culture as possible. I've worn the dresses and danced they maypole. Enjoy the rest of your trip!
