No, we did not exchange our van with this nice Cadillac 🙂 However this photo documents one of the first encounters in the country we are onto: Sweden But first, we step by at our mother’s homes. The night to start with features a beautiful moonlight…
Being 5 months abroad, it is somewhat strange coming home.
