We got us some culture on our trip too. We visited not one, but two artists' houses on this trip. This was the home of Anders Zorn, a very famous Swedish artist. He was even famous in the US, he painted portraits of three presidents that still hang in the White House. Siegfried was most impressed with his house, and the garden as well!
In Rättvik there is a long pier that is the longest inland pier. It is also one of the largest wooden constructions in the world! And since it goes out to a bit of rock there are actually trees and grass, a little park, at the end. It was very cool to walk all the way out. Siegfried was glad to sit down for pictures though. It was a long walk!
We made it to Dalarna! We rented a cottage in Rättvik and had lots of stuff to see. Siegfried was very pleased with all the horses there were to ride :).
Siegfried feels right at home in the model of Birka that was in the museum. He felt as though it was just right for his size :).
Siegfried is enjoying the boat ride to Birka. He is so excited to finally see the Viking settlement that was there! Or at least what's left.
Sock monkey finally has a name!!!! It has been decided that his name is Siegfried :). As soon as I get around to it his adventures will be appropriately tagged.
