It has long been a dream of mine to visit "The Motherland." On Thursday night we found a beautiful campground in Aksim, just outside of Gothenburg, with our tent set up just about 10 yards from the North Sea. It is a magnificent view with sailboats, swans and long hours of sunlight. Yesterday we were able to make the connection with Elise's friend Cherise, even though her flight was delayed about 4 hours. Mom and Dad checked into their hotel yesterday so just Elise, Cherise and I camped out last night. We also had the privilege of meeting Pia and her husband Jan yesterday evening. Pia is a relative on my Mother's side and came to live with my parents for 3 months when she was 19 in 1979.
Today was the first day of the transplant games and Dad competed in the 5k, just missing out on a medal. One of the most entertaining parts of these games are the crazy outfits for the USA team members. Here's a picture of my parents:
It looks like Elvis and Evel Kenevel were the team tailors. We are still behind put will try to keep posting the next few days and get caught up.

Those are just recycled from the 1976 Seniors Olympics. Can't wait to see the running shorts...
ReplyDeleteThis is Betty. Thanks, brother!! We did get shorts too but you won't see me in those. These were a stretch in more ways than one!! Nothing like having kids to keep you humble!
