I spent the weekend in Karlstad.
Check out my posts about it:
Sunday morning was spent around the TV. Watching TV in Sweden??
This Sunday marked the annual Vasaloppet. A 90km cross-country ski race between the village of Sälen and town of Mora in Darlna Sweden. It is traditional for the racers to eat Blueberry Soup (a thick, sweet blueberry drink) during the race. In their honor Emil made us some Blåbärssoppa.

2nd place female also breaking historic record
it was time to get out.

| Peace Goddess |
The peace treaty between Sweden and Norway, signed in 1905 turned Norway into an independent country. In memory of this, "The Goddess of Peace" was placed in the city center as a memory of the peaceful separation of the Swedish-Norwegian Union.

We spent a few hours in the history museum before hopping on the train back to Uppsala.
