2. Malmö and Southern Sweden

After spending 2 delightful, if not somewhat jetlagged days in Stockholm with Corinne, we took the train down to the southern coast of Sweden to stay with her boyfriend's family in Trelleborg (https://maps.google.com/ - look it up). Carl picked us up in Malmö and we drove to his favorite beach. We spent all afternoon on the beach (not your stereotypical Swedish activity, but turns out it is) and then headed to his parents house for a delicious dinner of homemade mushroom risotto and a wine tasting.

The next morning, Corinne and I borrowed bikes from his parents and she gave me the Trelleborg tour. It was/is a fishing town, the houses are small, but their yards are extremely looooooong so that they could spread the fishing nets out at the end of the day.

(really looooong and thin yard)

I really wish that I was able to spend more time in Sweden and with Corinne, but alas, the time had come for me to depart to Germany for my good friend Fiona's wedding!! 

Bye Corinne!!
