Coming to America
Our adventure continued in the streets of Prague. After leaving the diverse landscape of Turkey, we explored the winding backalleys and cobblestoned streets of beautiful Prague. We soaked up Bavaria; walked accross St. Charles Bridge in the shadow of Prague castle, marvelled at old town square with its Gothic Cathedrals, tried Pilsner beer with a side of goulash, got lost in the winding alleys of one of europe’s preserved Jewish ghettos. Then it was off to Sweden for some exploring of Erica’s roots. Beautiful Stockholm was in the full splender of fall. My favorite season, we missed fall during our experience down under. The trees in Stockholm were bursting with fall colors. This city of islands connected by bridges was a great fun to explore and learn about Vikings, Swedish culture, and history. We took a side trip to Vingakor for an expertly guided whirlwing tour of Erica’s Swedish roots. We experienced great Swedish hosptiality while viewing ancestral homes and beautiful Swedish countryside. After a brief side trip to Sigtuna to search out 900 year old runestones in Sweden’s oldest living town, we hoped on a plane for the journey accross the big pond to New York City. Hello Big Apple! We’re back in the United States.
