Europe 2006

Our trip to Europe took us to Sweden for a week to visit friends Tim and Annalena Ohlund, then to Ireland on our own for two weeks and ended with an overnight stopover in London. We did a handwritten journal of our trip (although it ended a few days early).  I have linked a PDF of the journal here, if you’re interested.  Otherwise, go directly to the pictures.

2006 Europe Journal

Sweden

Rich went to high school with Tim, and although he moved to Sweden in the 70’s, we stayed in touch, especially when email became available.  Tim and Annalena have visited the Seattle area several time, and kept encouraging us to visit them in Sweden.  When we decided to make our trip to Ireland, we thought we should take a short detour to Sweden.  What a great trip to a beautiful place with truly hospitable hosts!  The main photo for this website was taken near Tim and Annalena’s home.

Ireland

(Some of these photos are not mine-a few were taken from postcards or web sites to fill in where we weren’t able to get pictures.)

London

We only had 24 hours in London, and most of these pictures were taken from a moving double-decker bus!  We got off at Buckingham Palace.
