Another beautiful day, something like the mid 70's. Lots of sun, that's always good.
Musik: If I Had a Million Dollars - Barenaked Ladies, other random tunes
Word of the Day: svettig - means sweaty
We went for more walks today, but this one was more like a prequel to a bike ride we'll be taking soon. Yesterday was an adventurous day. We bought some touring bikes, and a little bit of gear (a jacket for me) soon another bike lock and some other accessories... like paneers down the road. But we took advantage of a fantastic afternoon and the new bike and we took off for Lomma.
I promised pics of there... so here's a load of them. Starting with a great shot of the sailboats in the marina. Next are some locals, wading in the shallow shore areas.
We took a walk out on the pier and the sand, ah, can you smell the fresh seaweed air? and salty sea freshness? I sure wouldn't want to take a dip in that water though, way way coooooold! Like, all year round too!
So, the next pic, I snag of Doug after another angle didn't turn out so well with the sun behind him. But this one's cool, because there's Doug, leaning on the wall, and the pier behind him and then the town of Malmö (where we'll be biking tomorrow!) But in that city, you can see the one tall skyscraper, the Turning Torso. The building really twists by 90 degrees from the bottom to the top of the building. It's really pretty, but supposedly a flunk in its success as a condominium tower. Unfortunate really.
The next couple pics were up a little bit from the water edge. There were these impressive rocks, so we went to see them, and sadly, they were nearly as tall as we expected, but here's a pic of 'em none the less. And just opposite them was this valley area perfect for midsommer and the pole dancing. See all those benches in the background and the pole too? They're off to the right of the clearing. Yeah, the water is out there too, past all the greenery.
Enjoy the views, and the locals ^_^
Thanks Rachel. Yeah, things are going well. This week, Doug's brother's graduating high school and so we'll help out a little with that party. Biking was put on hold yesterday due to running errands, but tomorrow should be better for that; we'll see. Hopefully something. I don't doubt some ride. Cheers, I'll call ya soon Rachel. Miss you too.
