Eva, Christer and Kalle (who was 13 when I lived with the family) took us to Djurgården on Saturday for a visit to Skansen. Skansen is a sort of zoo, but also Sweden in miniature, with old houses and small farms from all over the country so one can see how people lived throughout the land.
We arrived and immediately went in search of some animals. The petting zoo was close, so we quickly moved on to the large animals from Sweden's north. First we came to the Elk. They were huge!!!
Make way for goslings:
There were two seals posing for pictures:
And the brown bears were playing in their pool.
On the other side of the bear enclosure, we saw a bear and a fox playing with one another. It was a strange sight.
There was even a man giving nuts to the squirrels.
Anastasia was in charge of the map, and directed the way to lunch (she ate Swedish pancakes with strawberry jelly and whipped cream).
And then it was time for a drive.
And a turn in the helicopter.
We saw folk dancers and women enjoying a "fika" (Swedish afternoon tea) in a garden.
Anastasia helped the postman out by delivering a letter to one of the small farms, and then mailed her own letter to daddy.
It was a long afternoon, but we weren't finished until we visited the lemurs.
And had an ice cream. Tack to Eva, Christer and Kalle for a very good day.
