The castle in Orebro


Typical Swedish town. Please note the price of gasoline -- that's 12.24 kronor per liter, at about 7.5 kronor to the dollar. Yikes! It cost me between $65 and $70 to fill my rental-car gas tank.


Cute little houses on stilts.


Cute little houses on a hillside. All cute little houses in Sweden, if they aren't just natural wood, are painted red. I don't think it's actually mandated by law, but it might as well be. Everywhere you look, it's green fields and little red houses.
