Good travelogue, in fact great travelogue.

For future reference, though, you may wish to make the paragraphs shorter; I myself am a fan of long paragraphs, but it is easier in books, rather than on computer screens.

I liked most the way you wrote about the individual people, and situations, rather than describing the "things" (scenery, buildings, whatnot)--people and situations are much more interesting than mountains, valleys, fjords, &c., &c., &c.

As a little background, also it would be nice to have some details, a sentence or two, how it happens that one is an American living in Sweden, to begin with.

But all in all, I enjoyed reading this.

Thanks for the input. I'm trying to tighten up my writing but I've only expanded my audience from family members to neighbors in the last 4 months.

And now, this is the first time ever, I opened myself to critiquing by non-family/friends. Its a bit gut-wrenching but I know I can only improve if I get comments from folks not waiting on the next installment of my newsletter.
