Yesterday morning saw us on the road to Älvdalen, about 7 Swedish miles north of here, we were visiting friends. It was yet another fabulous day.
There was very little traffic until we approached the village, when we started to see lots of gleaming old American cars cruseing along. There was a week of Music and Motor events in full swing.
Our friends took us to their son's weekend house by a sweet little lake in the forest. We parked and walked the last bit on a winding track.
There are no neighbors, only peace and quiet.
Karin unpacked the lunch and we sat down to a lovely pasta salad.
Half way through, we were joined by a young fox.
It seems that he has been coming around regularly since a puppy and was not afraid of humans. A little wary, yes, but not afraid. He sat 2 meters from us and eat the bread we threw him. It felt very special to experience this.
Gunnar was interested in the solar panels, of course.
Later in the afternoon, and after a coffee at their house in Älvdalen, we were invited to see the place where Karin grew up and where her sister now lives. It houses some beautiful wooden furniture and works of art made by her grandfather, who was a famous artist.
This beautiful Canadian Spruce seems to like it in the Swedish forest.
Then it was time for us to drive home.
