The weather is certainly strange at times. <br />Remember those days in Gothenburg at Valborg, watching the parade of the Chalmers students. But this year it was a normal work day for me, just like any other day really.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00202599027913436513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-54974828984284624112014-05-01T23:19:52.870+02:002014-05-01T23:19:52.870+02:00Several years ago, I went home to Sweden to experi...Several years ago, I went home to Sweden to experience a "real" spring. Valborg was part of that as was looking in on the May 1 speeches, groups gatherings, red flags waving of the socialists in Stockholm. It was certainly an unusual sight after living in the U.S. for so long. Your magnolias are very pretty.Ingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02924736131382149056noreply@blogger.com
