Farmers’ Market and Domkyrka

On Saturday, Tim left early with his load of goods for the farmers’ market.  Annalena, Janie and I went later to meet him.  First we stopped at the Uppsala Domkyrka, a cathedral in Uppsala, where Annalena left us to go through a guided tour.  This was the most beautiful church, or certainly among the most beautiful I’ve ever seen.  It was originally built in 13th and 14th centuries.  We were lucky enough to visit at a time celebrating the appointment of the first Archbishop of Sweden, so the cathedral had many artifacts and art installations (both ancient and modern) on display.

After  our tour, we met Tim at the market and looked around, and then got lunch of very good falafel from a food truck.

After lunch, we visited the University of Uppsala Botanical Gardens, enjoyed some coffee and sweets and toured the enormous green house.

 

 

 

 

 

 

After returning home and catching up on our naps, we went to dinner at Tim and Annalena’s where Li baked a fantastic vegetarian lasagna.  Their son, Joel, also joined us for dinner.
