This was taken at the Landvetter airport in Gothenburg when they arrived 2024-05-13 |

|
First stop was at Nona and Oskars as they live in Gothenburg on the way home from the airport. |
|
|
Nona and Oscar took us for a walk to a nearby park. |
|
|
We stoped at a little coffee shop in the park and ordered som waffles! |
|
|
When we got home Mireille had fixed a meal ...(and we took this picture) |
|
|
Mireille had to work this week ... but she gave us a good tour of her work place .. and lunch in the hospital cafeteria |
|
|
The next day, Alfons and Amanda had taken the day off work to show us some things in Gothenburg ... This picture is at our place just before we left for the city. |
|
|
This picture was taken when we returned to Trollhättan -- overlooking the river. |

Mireille had booked a tourist bus in Gothenburg that both can give a tour on land and a tour on the water in the Gothenburg harbour. |

Next day Mireille had planed a day trip toward the bottom end of Swedens largest lake -- Vänern. She had packed a picnic for a stop along the way just outside an airforce base. |
|
|
This is supposed to be the best Fish and Chips on the planet (according to us) |

We had desert at our good friends Susane and Petters restaurant. |

A stop on the way home at a local castle. |

For their final day, our whole clan here in Sweden had planed to come for a get together on the deck at our place ... This was getting things ready with a lovely table cloth material that Doug and Joan had with them (with lots of Canadian flags) |
|
|
We (mostly Mireille) learned how to make Canadian buns and cinnamon buns from Joan. A real sucess for the get together. |
|
|
We seem to fill a table when we are together |

Mireille had made a wonderful meal for us all. |
