Recap: Road Trip 1





























After leaving Uppsala, we headed north to visit the home of Carl Larsson (famous Swedish artist). The photos are backwards as usual so this home is the last photo. We weren't allowed to take any photos in this beautifully decorated home--the tour we took was in Swedish. From here we went looking for a hotel in a "chain" of countryside hotels a friend had recommended. Thus we discovered the wonderful little tourist town of Tallberg on Lake Silyan and had a wonderful room and meal at Tallbergsgarden. (Hotels in Sweden are not cheap but most are delightful. The bike photo was in a yard in this scenic village. From there we headed to Mora where we really enjoyed visiting a forestry museum (open air). This is where the first photo was taken. I was especially interested because I come from a family of Swedish loggers. That night we stayed in what we call Motel 3. Kit posted a photo earlier. This part of Sweden is Dalarna, a place I love. We saw many camper vans and more campgrounds than hotels.
