Sweden has always been one of the places I’ve
wanted to see, but have
been deplorably ignorant about. It has good food (smorgasbord), a lot of
snow, and people who say ‘ya’. I was right about the food, but not about the
snow, although we did have a chilly visit, nor did even one person say ‘ya’.
Everyone we spoke to had little to no accent and used excellent English. We
visited three different towns during our stay, and all were delightful.
