September 13, Back in Sweden

Dwight and Astrid picked up us up at the airport in the afternoon and we headed for a hostel outside of Stockholm to spend the night. The hostel is managed by their friends.
To the right is the sign at the hostel and below is a picture of it.
This hostel is more of a family camping hostel. We stayed in the building. Charlie and I were given the deluxe room. It had a queen size bed in it, while Astrid and Dwight took a regular room, which consisted of bunkbeds.
The showers and bathrooms were at the end of the hall. This was a good time to stay at the hostel as it was not crowded. In the summer they said it is full on the weekends.
To the right is a picture of Dwight and Astrid's friends giving directions to Johanna on how to get to some of the places we wanted to go to in downtown Stockholm. There friends are Ryan and Linda. Ryan is a returned Swedish missionary and Linda is Swedish. She speaks very good English with an American accent. They lived in Arizona when they were first married, but then moved back to Sweden.
Ryan and Linda have two children, both of them were really cute and full of energy. This is Ebba with a piece of red plastic in her mouth. She loved to have her picture taken.
Ebba's brother, Aidan, can be seen in this picture.
Finally, I took some pictures of a few trailers that I thought that the Parry's would enjoy. They all had small tents connected to the doors to give them some outside living space. After taking these pictures, we headed for downtown Stockholm with Dwight at the wheel and Johanna directing. Maybe the Parry's don't have to get rid of all of their tents, now that they have a trailer. We also thought that they would be delighted to know that there are trailer parks in Sweden, so that when they drive to Sweden they should take their trailer with them.
