First of all, let me tell you I miss Sweden already...I came home yesterday night, and I aleady miss it. Sigh.
I had the most amazing time, and I fell in love with Gotland and Visby. In fact, I think I will go back there next year <3
I'm really really tired, but happy......and I think I will stay tired for a while, as I am leaving again for NY tomorrow morning at five in the morning. Oh my. *faints*
Forgive me if I don't write a full Sweden report right now, I promise I will do it in September when I come back...right now I'm really far too tired, and I'm missing all the pics my friends took, which are quite important, sinse my camera's battery died before I could take pics of the FABULOUS Medieval week in Visby. Oh my, it was amazing....just imagine a medieval town still in great shjape (Visby) full of people with gorgeous medieval costumes. Old peopel, middle aged people, children, younglings....EVERYONE was dressing medieval. We already decided we're coming back next year, dressed up as well....
But I wanted to share some pics, because this year...I've got some really good ones ;)
This year we went to: Stockholm (4 days) Uppsala (1 day) and Gotland (10 days)

Another view of Visby. The town (and the whole island) is FULL of ruins of churches. There are so many of them....and they are just and simply reathtaking. So romantic :p
