We left Visby around 2:30pm after cleaning up our little house and getting all the bags to the Gotland ring office. We were able to place our "Gotland Patch" travel bug in a geocache by a cemetery in Visby and do some geocaching on the way home. It was fun and it get's us off the beaten path. Spencer got stung by some stinging nettle or some other stinging plant while retrieving a geocache called "Polhem". It itched for a while and then went away. Some funny things about Sweden are that it costs 10 kronor to use a public toalett. It's about $1.50 to wee! So... we use that as a comparison. For instance, a hagen daz type ice cream bar cost 17 kronor or a little more than it costs to pee. Also, the word "Fart" means something like speed so we see words like infart, utfart, genomfart, toppfart and byggutfart all over the roadways which make us giggle a bit. Here are some more pictures. Collin at the wheel with Rich riding shotgun in an event at the track, running around inside another medeival church and our group effort of a reenactment of Samson holding the pillars and saying "Let me die with the Phillistines!" We are now in a very nice hotel in a room with a sauna and the kids are loving it. All is well. We board the ferry for Finland on Tuesday night and arrive Wednesday morning. It's light most of the way and it's through the archipeligo so we are passing islands most of the time. Cool!

lol! In mexico they charge you to use the bathroom (like almost 3 american dollars... and then more if you want toilet paper.)
Oh no! Someone let Collin drive a racecar! Im at a safe distance though :)
You guys look like your having a blast... though I must say, the background of the Gotland ring photograph is not very green... everything else is chock full of plants and green things!
Adding onto our funny trip, I accidentally used coffee instead of milk for my cereal yesterday morning.
oops!
