Österlen

Taking another opportunity at a road trip organized through the international office, I signed up for a trip to the Southwestern part of Sweden. We went to two of the places I had visited on my very first trip in Sweden which were Ales Stenar and Glimminghus. In addition to this we went to Dag Hammarskjoelds Backacra and to Stenshuvud National Park which is where these two pictures were taken. The one on top is of the wood anemones and the bottom one of the highest point in the park. Its strange to think that this was May 6 and spring had still not arrived! Southern Sweden had a very long winter and there was snow basically until the end of March. This trip was a bit rushed because after this park which was our fourth stop we went to the Gunilla Mann gallery. She has comical like painting always containing a bicyle, a cat and a woman somewhere. It wasn't my kind of art but we did all get a large postcard of a painting depicting Lund so that was pretty neat. The other good part was that we had apple cake and coffee available to us at the gallery before being rushed off to get home because the schedule was supposed to have us back by like 1800. This park was my favorite of all the days activities and really the reason I went on the trip.
