Gotland

We took a trip to Gotland, the large island off the southeast coast of Sweden. It is where the historic medieval town of Visby is located. Our friend Jeff came to visit us in Sweden. We met in Stockholm and then took a ferry from a town near Stockholm to Visby. Here is a picture of "Uncle Jeff" and Odin on the 3 hour ferry ride.
The town of Visby still has most of its medieval town wall intact, you can see other towers along the wall from the tower we're on.
Uncle Jeff and Odin hanging out in the grass. Odin needed some time to crawl around and play.
Group photo with our Sweden shirts outside the hotel within the old town walls. You can see one of the old towers in the background.
Odin showing Uncle Jeff how strong he is at dinner!
Odin trying to get my glass during lunch in the town square. We had lots of sun and great weather!
Here is a picture of Dad and Odin with a "Tomtea", a kind of gnome that each house has that helps watch over things and can be responsible for odd things around the house.
