Bob and I just returned from two wonderful weeks in Sweden and two in Scotland. Sweden is my favorite place in the whole world, and there’s no such thing as too many trips to Sweden. This was number 14 for me! Scotland was a first for both of us. Of course I took lots of pictures, so let me begin by sharing my love of Sweden with you!
We started our trip in the third largest city in Sweden, Malmö.
The city center was beautiful, with lots of these towers of flowers!
Thanks to some tips from Maia at SemiSwede we found our way to the park….
…along the canal….
…and to some beautiful gardens.
I loved this windmill…
…and this sculpture was quite intriguing!
This building, called the Twisted Torso, is one of the most famous sites in Malmö.
I don’t usually go into McDonald’s when I’m traveling abroad, but one day we needed a bathroom, so decided to share a Coke and take advantage of McDonald’s facilities. Now I want to know why we don’t have pastries like this in our McDonald’s!?!
Of course I love the quaint streets…
…and the shopping was fabulous!
My favorites are the design stores.
There were plenty to choose from.
Sweden and strawberries are synonymous in the summer!
I also love the handcrafts, like the Dala horses.
Ah, the colors of Sweden!
It was so great to be back!

Great post. The scenery is gorgeous, but I’m most envious of the shopping. You just ripped my heart out with the shots of the design stores. The first shop photo features the footed dessert dishes I bought at NK several years ago. I used them at bunco last night! And I bought that strawberry runner on our last trip (and sold it to Robbyn at this year’s garage sale!).

oh, how I wish I knew you were going to Malmo. My parents hosted a student from Malmo in high school days. Peter is a doctor married to a dentist and they live in one of those quaint old houses (but the inside is ultra Scandinavian modern!!!)

Good post. I learn something new and challenging
on websites I stumbleupon on a daily basis.
It will always be useful to read content from other writers and practice something from other web sites.
