I had booked my first night at Edith and Julia's B &B on Öland. I really thought it would be a bit too far away for them to drive. As it turns out, its a very nice little vacation island for most of Sweden. And, they don't mind making the short drive. Well, I'm going to attempt to insert some pictures along the way. I tried on my last post but couldn't figure it out. Just think I'm going to try again.
Yeah it worked! !!! But, I'm having a difficult time with making any changes. It already deleted a couple of my videos. So, I think I'll just send this off to you so you'll have something from me today.
The videos are of a trip to a available very old castle where King V Gustav reigned. It was quite a story. The picture of the dog with only 3 legs is because the King was the only one who was allowed to hunt for deer. All the local farmer's dogs had to have one leg cut off so they wouldn't get the king's catch. He was also such an epicurean that one of the pictures shows a frame of his waistline. It was 2 meters around. He was a real fat slob. There is a Hall of Fame in the castle that shows the important people who have performed shows or visited the castle. Among them were Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash and of course, Abba.
We also saw a ruin of a burial site that was from the Iron Age, around 1000 BC. They called it Noah's Ark because rocks were placed in the form of an ark and the bodies were buried by families in rows within the Ark. Quite interesting stuff.
Another video is of the Royal summer home built close to the old castle. Build to remind the Queen of Tuscany.
Well I'm going to get this off before I lose the rest of the videos. I think I'll have the posts/videos better organized from here on out.
