Last full day in Sweden

We woke up and walked to the train station and thought we bought train tickets but apparently they were bus tickets. So we got on the bus and went to meet the Norback family. We got there and he picked us up in his new dream come true....the mustang. Interesting note about gasoline. We saw it cost 15 kronos or so. That equals about 2 usd. We thought that was pretty good until we realized it was 15 kronos for 1 liter of gas, not one gallon. Gas is more like 8 usd. And we thought we had it bad. Before going to their home we stopped by a kingdom hall. Yes there weremore mics at every seat. And the colors were interesting. We got to the house and we had coffee and hung out. Then we went to a big shopping store and then to a little restaurant next to it where we had some normal Swedish food. A shrimp sandwich and a meatball sandwich with a beet sauce. It was pretty good. We drove back and met some sisters from new York that were going to stay with the Norback family for a couple days. Sister Norback's sister got to take brother and sister Pierce out on a boat for the day.....on their way back we could have met them but we were not at the house. :( oh well. Brother and sister Norback took us to a little island with amazing views and we just walked around. It was very relaxing. We went back to their house and they made us a big dinner. Salmon, hamburgers, potatoes, salad, fries and some delicious sauces. Sister norback's parents came and their son and his friend and the sisters from new York. It was already time to head home, so this time we had the brother look up the TRAIN schedule so we were actually on a train and not a bus. We were sad to leave and they were such a loving family...As we we leaving they kept handing us gifts! It was an amazing day.... We are not able to post pictures right now for some reason...but we will post them as soon as we can....ooor if we don't get to it then you will have to see them in person. :) we are leaving our hotel right now for our journey home. Will be home tonight very late...we miss everyone and will see you soon.
