Ah, Sweden, or should I say Ya Sweden!!  We took the ferry from Denmark to Sweden and headed North to Gotesborg.  Our first stop, IKEA - I know that you are all shocked, but we couldn't resist.  Don't worry, we didn't buy a thing.

We checked into the Hotel Europa right in the center of town and headed out for dinner - Gretta's, of course.  An amazing find!  You can see Tom with our waiter, Yentz and Gretta in the background.  This will remain the most special evening of our trip for reasons soon to be formally announced in the future.

Wednesday, we spent most of the day exploring once again, well shopping - we didn't find the spectacular furniture that we were looking for, we definitely tried.  Goteborg is a beautiful city filled with parks and trees.  It has been so funny to listen to our Israeli friends who live here complain about how much the Swedes care about the environment.  

Tomorrow we take off for Denmark and then fly back to Seattle. I think that it's so funny how we leave at 10:30 AM and arrive 11:30 AM the same day.  We should be a real pleasure to be around in the afternoon.

Epilogue

 It's been a wonderful, amazing journey filled with both the old and the new - cities, friends, experiences and sites.  An exploration of countries, cultures and ourselves.  We saw so much, but yet so little.  We will return to this place again, over and over.  Hopefully you'll join us next time.
