Today, things continued to happen, we delivered my Nissan into the hospital, and it was market in Åsele, the largest in Northern Sweden!

Sorry but I'm not very good in repairing fuel pumps, so had my Nissan into the workshop today. The car stopped on E4, and it was fortunate that Marcus could drag us to Trollstigen. It was a tragic morning, but improved considerably after we went on Åsele Market, the largest in Northern Sweden! We met Elsy and Lasse there, and  there were many activities we could participate in, including. I had be on the stage in a magic show, then the magician, stole my phone. I got it back. Otherwise, we were only 7 of 150 000 visitors, and there was plenty of food to taste. I tipped the size of the salmon Tyko, I have not heard anything yet, so the odds were probably not very close, or so my ticket was not pulled out. We shopped a little, so much, I got me a chat with VildHasse, participating also this year, with several stands on the market. We took a long detour home, and now we have also visited the hotel in Fredrika, we had coffee for everyone, and then we visited Buddha Temple Place - where we saw two huge statues at least 15 meters high, and an exhibition showing the history of the site.

Sunday - still hot and a lazy day, then visit to Brännland, and a long detour home.

We visited Näslunds in Brännland, and found that they had come a long way in the work on the wall, and so they "hyppet" the potato with a 4 wheeler. After fika and a chat while, we went home, via Håknäs, a small detour, and here we found a real Swedish "Smultronställe" - markjordbär - wild strawberries -  in Norwegian. Great flavor. All this at a war memorial, with history from 1808! The war between Sweden and Russia 1808 to 1809. In june 1809 the Swedish army had to retire and they took up new positions on this side of the river Öreälven. The russian did not manage to march any further south. We were guided by the local historian Marcus.  Then tomorrow we will make my Nissan ready for surgery, he will get his stunned at 9:00 in the morning. Then it can go well, otherwise it's over and out of the old struggler. Then it might well be Åsele Market?

Trollstigen - today we have been married in 39 yrs - and my Nissan, (The Car), took a rest.

We have had an eventful day here in Trollstigen, we were up to Umeå and cut some hair, when we got 1 km along the E4, stopped my amazing Nissan Laurel without notice. Marcus came and we towed the car back to the troll 4, here is the car now and waiting for action! I have contacted many friends and experts on diesel pumps, and we also look at other solutions. Marcus and Marielle went to a wedding, and Emil and I went to the fabulous beach house, heated pool for large and small. It was a nice bike ride, I see many bicycle tours in the near future. May have to fill out a lottery coupon tonight. The weather will continue with almost 30 and clear sun - water. Happy anniversary!

Holidays and heat is on in Trollstigen Sweden

Now we are back in the holiday country Sweden. Many activities, and Emil enjoys the company of neighborhood kids. Strawberries was the first thing today, they found a lot in Elisabeth's garden. Arvid, Emil and Mathias played well today, they had set up tents in the garden and the trampoline was used widely in the sun. Water was the big first day, but it dried quickly in the wind and sun. Before dinner there was a bike ride to the store where we shopped, and we shall have the salmon a la Per Arne today, over the grill. I visited Ragnar, he was installing new heating system, after drilling 180 meter down, he will have a great and modern heating system for his house.

I was visiting Tverlia yesterday - Tverlia is a nice spot!

I could not resist the temptation to take a panoramic photo from Tverlia, it was not so many "Tractoreggs" to see yet, so the moment was right. Throughout my childhood I have had this great view of the fjord and mountains in Skjerstad municipality. Now the municipality has become part of Bodø, and the outskirts are becoming more and more pronounced! It's really a shame! (I think you can see the nice photo if you click on the picture..) It is not far from Saltstraumen.

We sure take care of history - this is a 41 year old one

Currently played it back in use, the 41-year old stroller from 1969 - it is suddenly needed again, and father Bengt must once again set up, lucky that we had the stroller long-stored with us. That is what we call reuse! The stroller from last generation is still fine and usable. It is a great story!
