More Monday Fun!!!

Well, after nearly two weeks of sketchy internet, we finally have a good, strong internet connection and can post to our heart' desire. :-) Monday was our first day back in Gothenburg with GORGEOUS weather. We had a couple of nice days while we were in Tjorn (at the summer house) and Tanumshede (at the Vitlycke Museum) but Monday was the first really nice day without any rain and just sunshine. It was nice! about 75 degrees.......anyway here are some photos.....



This is one of the internet cafes that we found in downtown Gothenburg - it was a really nice cafe and while Carl sat blogging I went shopping! He should have never turned me loose - I found shoes.....and I mean SHOES. :-) Hee hee

....after our rest we decided to take our "picnic lunch" home and grab our bicyles to ride out to the Botanical Garden.....we originally planned to take a tram out there and just walk around but after some debating we decided to a) drop off the shoes at home that I bought, b) eat our lunch there too, and c) get on our bicycles and head out! We debated whether or not to ride our bikes out there because we were still really sore from our work day at the summer house. We scrapped and sanded and washed the exterior of the house and our hands and arms were very sore. However, the bike ride turned out to be an exceptional idea and we had a great time.....

Here I am pointing at a giant cabbage. It was HUGE.

And the day (not to mention entire trip!) would not be complete without one last stop at our favorite cafe (de Matteo) in Victoria Passage.....



(Is that not beautiful or what?!)
