I had a wonderful four days in Sweden. My plane back to Copenhagen was delayed, and I didn’t arrive at my apartment until about 2 a.m. this morning. Today I’m back to work. No more festivals for me in Europe, but I will see Marillion in Berlin this coming weekend (Nervosa, too, on a different night).

I have almost 2,000 photos to go through. These are the first two I pulled up.

Tomorrow morning I’m heading north again. Tomorrow night I’ll spend the night in a ship hotel in Stockholm, and Friday I’ll head even farther north. I’ll have to bring the sleeping eye mask to get a bit of darkness.

I won’t make it quite as high north as I was in Iceland, but I don’t think it will get completely dark in Gävle.

I didn’t have class today so I went for a bike ride. First stop was Grundtvig’s Church. The sky was overcast when I left my place in Valby, but by the time I arrive blue sky was beginning to appear. This made my exterior photos much better.

I would love to hear some music in this place. Unfortunately, the night-time concerts seem to be on break until August, and the day-time music is on Wednesday when I’m teaching.

Should you ever be biking to this church, I recommend approaching from the west, through the cemetery. It’s much more spectacular than from the south, which is how I arrived.
