Sites of Sweden

My mother lived in Sweden for a brief time when she was younger while my grandfather was a “building” missionary…he built church buildings for Latter-day Saint church.  Then in 2000-2002 my grandparents returned to Sweden to work in the Temple.  So of course we had to take a train ride to the temple.  It was nice to see where my grandparents served their mission.

We were also told by many people that we needed to visit the Vasa Museum.  On 10 August 1628 the Vasa set sail on her maiden voyage and sank in Stockholm harbour.  333 years later the wreck was salvaged and it is reconstructed with 95% of it’s original pieces for all the world to see.  It is pretty amazing.
