This weekend, I took a train up to Falun from Stockholm to visit my friend Mats. Two and a half years ago, he and his family moved back to Sweden after having spent a couple of years in Atlanta.
Falun is in Dalarna, the heartland of Sweden. The people love the outdoors, and Dalarna is great for cross country skiiing or long distance skating. While most of the lakes have too much snow to skate comfortably, volunteers are maintaining a 30 km track on the Runn lake. It is a 5 minute walk from Mats' home to the track. So we rented Swedish long distance skates and went for a ride. After the skating, we relaxed in Mats' outdoor spa while enjoying some cold Carlsbergs.
