Our last full day in Sweden.........

This is our last full day with Petra and Thomas. We will start heading for home tomorrow. But we still had some things to see today, including an ancient rock formation (it's known as a stone ship) and a real live fortress-designed castle.

.

This is the outside of Petra and Thomas's summer home.

This is their living room.

Here is Petra in the kitchen.

We went to the Swedish equivalent of Stone Henge. No one knows why the stones have been placed here, but they are in the shape of a ship--but to us look more like a football.

Here are three of us at Ales Stenar (Ales Stones in English).

While we were there George decided to climb to the bottom of the cliff and touch the Baltic Sea. Going down was okay, but coming up was hard work!

We also went to Glimmingehus, a castle built and lived in in the late Middle Ages. It was surrounded by a moat and had walls about three feet thick!!

George wasn't playing by the rules at the castle and got put in the stocks--we decided to help free him so he can head back to the US tomorrow.

This is a church right next to Petra and Thomas's summer home. It is about 800 years old.

This is the altar area of the church.

We ate dinner in the barn of this building tonight. The buildings and grounds were very beautiful.

Here we are having pizza--Gunilla (Petra's mother), Thomas, Kim, George, and Petra.

One of the unusual sights in the town where Petra and Thomas have their summer home is the knitted sign post covers! Someone has an unusual sense of humor!

So tomorrow we start heading back. It will take about 3 days and we will see some things along the way. I am not sure what we will have for Internet access on the way back. But we will blog when we can as we wrap up this magic carpet ride.
