They lived in SF for years before selling their antique lighting shop and retiring, and have been lifelong friends with Vince (and me, after I came along). They spend about half of their time in Sweden and the other half in Isla Mujeres, Mexico. Hmm.. a couple of guys who split their time between far-flung locales? Remind you of anyone?
When we arrived in Nice, we weren't sure our trip to Sweden would come to fruition, but it worked out perfectly. And it was just like coming home.
Jim and Lennart really put on the dog when we arrived. No, they weren't teasing Honey. Putting on the dog by celebrating our arrival with a couple of lovely dinner parties at their country cabin. First with a gaggle of Swedish friends and family:
The next night, we had a delightful dinner with Lennart's brother Jolle and sister-in-law Gittan.
We had such fun. We popped over to see Gittan and Jolle again during our Swedish adventure, and met up with some of new friends at an art show a few days later:
Vince and I took in the art, but Honey was distracted:
She met some sweet poodles:
And apparently, that wore her out:
After that, a bunch of us met for lunch at Freadals Trädgårdscafé as well. Freadals is gorgeous:
We had shrimp sandwiches for lunch. Pretty much the rule in Sweden.
Gunilla was initially served 1 shrimp:
And being a good sport, she savored her it!
We had a lot of laughs and fun getting to know everyone better:
