my idea of heaven - such fantastic images.
I'd so love to live like that.
For several years, I've had a dream about going to Gotland one summer. I've seen photos, it's a beautiful place - I'm thinking it would be great to ride a bike all around the island (now that I think of it, I think this dream was caused by a Swedish book I had in school, where the characters did just that while speaking very basic Swedish ;) ). Living in Finland, fulfilling this dream shouldn't be that hard. Thanks for reminding me...
hey gals.
yes, sc, you are close to gotland! you should go and bike around. sounds lovely. would be nice to stay in a beautiful house or stuga too.
Jag drömmer med dig.
they're all so charming!
Hej Kerstin! Jag älskar Gotland.
I grew up there and got married at Kovik chapel on the west coast of the island. I don't get to go back often enough. Thank you for sharing the photos and for reminding me about our homeland. Cyberkram från Lotta.
