Hey, it's Pete and it's late. So, I'm sorry that, YET AGAIN, I have posted these pics in reverse chronological order. But there are so many pictures and so little time to post them all!!!!! Oh well, we will do the best we can. Here are a few for now and the rest of the group have many more. It's late on Saturday night and time to pack up for Karlstad. It has been so much fun, yet hectic at the same time. We are wrapping up our time at Västerås and heading to Karlstad tomorrow!
This weekend was most exciting for our team. We were treated by the Rotary District 2340 to a weekend in Stockholm! We took the train from Västerås Friday early afternoon and spent the afternoon wandering around and shooting plenty of pictures. Saturday morning was spent on a bus and boat tour of the city which was most informative and provided plenty of opportunities for pictures.

We would like to give a HUGE thank you (TACK!) to the Västerås Rotary Clubs for their hospitality! We had a wonderful stay here and were made to feel like we were home! Saturday night was spent at Tina's house for a dinner party! All host families were there so it was a great, great time. Again, we cannot thank all of you enough!
This is Tina, our GSE Coordinator's house. She hosted a farewell party for us tonight after our Stockholm trip.
Here's our group after dinner outside Tina's house.
Pete with his gracious hosts, Thomas & Annette Wistrand.
Here's another picture of our dinner party tonight.
Just after the bus & boat tour we were fortunate enough to catch the end of the "changing of the guard" ceremony at the royal castle.
This is old town Stockholm! There are so many buildings with these tiny walkways!
Here's Pete just outside the Royal Palace.
The Grand Hotel: Most dignitaries stay here. They hang their guests' country's flag each day.
Drottninggattan is the main street in Stockholm with all the shopping, bars & restaurants.

hWhats the deal Pete? No one wanted to pose with you for your photo op? From the looks of it, Stockholm is rich in history. I can't wait to hear all about your trip. Travel Safely!!!! Beth :)
Pete,
Keep the pictures coming so you can make me even more jealous. Say hi to my ancestors over there, in fact open the phone book and see how many Knudsens there are over there. Knudsen is like smith over here.
I sure you have having the time of your life. Enjoy.
