SUMMER DAYS IN UPPSALA

July 31, 2014

My brother and his fiancé live in Uppsala, a major college town just north of Stockholm. I used to live and study there about ten years ago, and fell in love with the city in a heartbeat. Liz, Paige, and I took the bus up last week, and spent two nights there. It was such a cozy time…
Here come some photos from our trip!

    Wow, vilken sommar ni har haft! Har ni hunnit vila någonting egentligen? 😉 Ville bara säga att, förutom att det är riktigt underbara foton, ser du alldeles strålande vacker ut på kortet med era twizzler straws 🙂 Saknar er!

      Ja, sommaren har verkligen flugit iväg och varit otroligt härlig med många äventyr! Har inte hunnit vila särskilt mycket så det försöker vi ta igen nu, några dagar innan skolan börjar! Tack så mycket för den fina komplimangen, det gjorde min kväll här 🙂 Hoppas att ni hade det toppen i USA! Saknar dig med… Kramar
