Well, after arriving in Trollhattan, Sweden yesterday morning, we found our rental house near Hogsater in Dahlsland. It is an old farmhouse in the middle of no-where. We are in the heart of where Dave's ancestors came from. Today we have already visited 3 churches that former relatives were members. I write this from Amal which is a pretty big town on Lake Vanern. The weather continues to be lousy. Thank goodness this was not intended to be a golfing vacation! Brenda found some fabric at a little store in Tosse. She will have fun making a memorable bag from it!
It has been interesting hearing the opinions of the locals on our current administration. They are universally approving of President Obama. It is nice to be able to travel and not be embarrased about the government.
