Somewhere in the heart of Göteborg, Sweden. Anyone know the cross streets?

Happy in Blue

Friend Sam recently proposed to his girlfriend; do you think she said yes? I took their engagement photos last week on the Stone Arch Bridge (location of proposal) in Minneapolis. They are quite the cute couple. Congrats!

Kaviar Rainbow

Kaviar is like peanut butter in Sweden. You’ll find a host of options to choose from, all in a squeezable tube. What comes out is not small eggs but a tan-colored spread that is the consistency and texture of horseradish. In fact, the white tubes in the picture contain pepparrot or horseradish.

Last week, I counted the number of different brands and different variants of peanut butter at one grocery store. Total? Thirty-one! How many in Sweden? Three. In the "ethnic" section.

Klädesholmen, Sweden. Is this sign a warning or a suggestion?

No particular photo today; instead a link to an album of photos from my trip to Sweden!
Also, read my final thoughts on the trip in my Travelog.

Found along the winding alleys and streets of Klädesholmen, Sweden.

Currants in Cream

How does one enjoy a beautiful evening in Sweden? Seafood for dinner, followed by a meringue cake topped with red currants (perfectly tart to my liking), some Brut, and lit candles on the patio under the table umbrella.

Green Rules

Chalmers University first-year students gathering in their departmental groups at Götaplatsen on the first day of orientation. My only concern was the eminent presence of revived 80s fashion (shudder).

Tylösand

Tylösand is a small, outlying community of Halmstad. It’s well-known for its 7km-long sand beach. A bit too cold for me in August, but I have seen postcards of the beach jam packed with people during the warmer weeks and trying to get the most of their Swedish summer.
