These pictures are from our trip to Northern Sweden August of 2006. We were staying at my brothers and dads summer cabin. We did fishing, swimming, and visited a reconstruction of 2,000-1,500 year old iron age village (pre-viking). This village was found just few hundred yards from where I grew up.
