Out of all the things I miss the most from Sweden living in Switzerland (not counting people), is the sea...... For me, no environment can really compare to the one by the sea. It fills me with such tranquility! I love waking up and falling asleep to the sound of the waves, feeling the sea breeze on my face, having salty baths and in the evening, having these baths after a hot sauna! ...and last but not least, I can't get enough of all the stunning sunsets!!
I guess you could say my feelings for the sea is comparable to what the Swiss feels about the mountains....
Here's the photo blog from our week in Gräddö:

| The waking up view, just outside our cabin....not every day, but those with sunshine ;) |
 |
| Serious sibling talk? ;) |
 |
| Caroline and Chris, defying the water temperature! As you should in summer time in the Archipelago =p |

| My mom and Kalle came out for a day and here we are all going in to the sea after a HOT sauna =)) Sooooo refreshing! |

They brought freshly picked Chanterelles and we used them to make a pasta dinner.....
 |
| Maybe not entrely easy to see, but there is a seal passing by out there =))) This is actually the first time I ever saw one in nature like this.... Two years ago, I heard them but never saw them. |

| Yet another stunning sunset view..... |
Just one more photo blog post to go on the topic of our Sweden holidays, which will be about our final night and day at the cabin, a kind of family gathering ;)) Coming up soon!
