A trip to Gammelstad

I visited a wonderful place 80 kilometers from my home.A world heritage.

A sunny day and I went to Gammelstad visiting the old church and the special "village" with small houses used in the past when we had to go to church some holidays every year.Well it's a long time ago when there were no cars or something else that made it possible to go home sleeping and then come back next day.You can find many pictures on the link above and 3 on my flickr.

On http://www.lulea.se/hagnan/ where they had a handicraft day.You could see people doing tatting,felting,knitting,doing braclets and so on.I met my secret friend from Stickamera-well now she is not.Our secret period is over.

Det ante mig att du var på semester.Evenemanget var mycket trevligt.Hade jag vetat så....Vi har det alldeles utmärkt annars.Att semestra i närområdet är inte tokigt alls.
