Torsby...Sunday we drove to Torsby, checked out an exhibit of Erling Ärlingsson (a very good swedish painter), ate pizza in the center of town, and watched raggares drive by (Rockabilly swedes that drive American muscle cars displaying fuzzy dice). Afterwards we visited Linda's grandma in the hospital and chatted with her for awhile. Then it was back home to Karlstad.

Monday the weather was beautiful again. I cruised down to the center of town and purchased a photo card downloader and a telephone. The rest of the day I spent hanging out by a coffee shop, writing and watching people walk by. As unexciting as this may sound, it's one of the things I really wanted to do on the trip. I'll probably do this again today :) At night we drove to a hospital where Linda used to work and snuck me in so I could take a shower. Man, did that feel good!
