Weekender


This is Smogen. Well, a very small part of Smogen. But, you get the picture. A cute seaside fishing town set amongst glacier-scoured, barren, rocky cliffs and shorelines. Smogen is about 140km North of Goteborg. A easy drive for a sunny, lazy Saturday afternoon. Apparently, Smogen is the place to be in the Summer. In March, it's half-awake. We did find a nice deli and ordered a tasty little sandwich filled with shrimp, dill sauce, and lettuce that looked like seaweed. Alas, no picture. Next time! Also in the sandwich were what I believe to be breaded fish fillets [four in all]. I am stating fish, though it remains unclear. There was no sign for the sandwich and we didn't ask. Bought it on sight alone. As we were eating it, I kept asking TJ if he knew what it was. Neither the texture nor the smell gave its true identity away. Still, we were in a fish market-slash-deli. It had to be fish, right? Also found a small store where TJ was able to procure a reasonably-priced Diet Coke and some tasty treats. A picture of said tasty treats will be forthcoming. Suffice it to say, Swedes have a sweet tooth.

Welcome to Sweden... some day, you'll have to check out the Stockholm archipelago, which looks totally different.
