Trollhättan is a little city of maybe 65,000 people. The down town area is a picturesque town complete with a river and locks through the down town area. I walked many of the down town streets watching people and looking at architecture. After about 3 hours of that I headed to the locks. I walked the trails around all the locks and river areas watching life go by. For a town of 65,000 people Trollhättan has the feel of an American city maybe ¼ it�”s size. Being from a small town I like this very much. It took maybe 3 hours to walk all of the locks area. By this time I was getting hunger so I headed for dinner. I had my first real Swedish meal. It was raw Herring in 3 different sauces. A ketchup-ish, a cranberry, and a white creamy. Good thing I spent the last 3 years eating all manner of raw stuff. If not I�”m not sure I would have even tried it. In Japan they spend a lot of effort making the raw stuff look good. You can almost forget your eating raw meat. Here, not so much so. It was good. Just didn�”t look so appetizing. After dinner I did a little more people watching and headed to my room for same sleep.
You are so full of wonderful adventures I love to read what you post, I like to live through your writings about your travels. You sound so indepth… I hope you do not mind me reading and living in a little dream world through you.
