Sweden New Years Day! 1/1

It was kind of weird waking up on New Years Day in Sweden and realizing that everyone in Utah was just barley watching the ball drop and celebrating the new year.
We are blessed to say the least...
It's not everyday that you get to spend New Years in Sweden...well of course except for all of those who live there ;)
New Years day we drove down to the coast of the Baltic Sea.  It took us about an hour, and we were in a little town of houses that we were told was really popular during the summer time.  It was pretty dead when we were there so it was cool to be able to walk around and see all the houses.  I just kept thinking of how fun it must be during the summer time being right by the sea.
There is a place called Logen.  Spelled a little different but we thought it was cool! :)




The Baltic Sea!



We walked through the town a little bit and then we headed up this hill to this historic site that they wanted us to see.  It is big huge rocks put in the shape of a boat up in the middle of a big field that is on a cliff down to the sea.  Got all that?  That is the best way I can describe it! Haha.  They have been there for a really really long time and nobody really knows exactly what it is for.  Some people think it might be a calendar of some sort.  
A little info about it
Inside the circle

The cliff was really high and about 50 yards from where the rocks were.



After that Brad and I explored a little bit down by a little fishing dock area that they had!  The pictures don't do anything justice!  It was really pretty!





It was really pretty there, and fun to see something that alot of people don't really get to see unless they know about it!  It's crazy to me to think back in time and how long ago everything there was made and built!  It's really cool.

When we got back to Lund (a city by where they live), we went to dinner at a nice restaurant there!  It was hard to order because everything was written in Swedish haha! But we ended up both really liking what we got! :)




When we finished eating we drove around Lund...it's such a cute town!  Then we stopped at a candy store called Candy People!  There was SO MUCH candy there.  I was in heaven:)


Their orange soda is called Zingo.
Chocolate

The most memorable New Years I will ever have!  We are so grateful to be given the opportunity to spend it in the way that we did!  Thanks Palomaki's! :)
