Glad you've enjoyed what you've seen of Europe so far.

It is a human right to once experience Italy.
My favourite italian region is Tuscany, for many reasons.

(Learn more about the magnificent florentine renaissance
http://www.learner.org/exhibits/renaissance/middleages.html - this is one of the major reasons why we westerners are who we are)

Italy is a part of the world that has shaped the conditions of mankind like no other geographical/cultural area, with the possible exception of Greece.

You also went to Kiruna, Sweden.

I'm swedish and live in Sweden, but I've never been to the polar part.
I've been all over Europe, to Asia, to America, but I haven't visited Kiruna.

We all need a get away every now and then.
More and more people are discovering Sweden, maybe I should as well!

Välkomna till Europa!
(Welcome to Europe!)

As a matter of fact, we're going to start discovering more of the US when we return permanently at Christmas. There are many places in the US we've never gotten around to visiting because they didn't seem "exotic" enough. Being over here made us realize there is alot right under our noses. BTW - Kalmar and Oland are worth a visit too if you haven't made it down there yet....(I loved the museum dedicated to the Kronan.)

;D
