Charlie around town Part 2

On Sunday we saw the sun!!  It had been a week, some sleet, and some snow since we'd seen the sun, so it was nice.  I'm not going to say it was necessarily warm, but there was sun!  We had heard that the cathedral in Lund gave tours in English, so I was hoping to catch one of those.  It turns out they only have regular tours June - September, so you'll have to wait for that one.  With the cathedral off the table, we decided Charlie needed to take a trip into Lund.  Off to the bus stop we went!


We took the 166 into Lund at 1:35.  Charlie was excited.  Usually he is either dropping off or picking up his momma at the stop, but this time, he was ready for travel.


The bus was not very full.  Most stores are closed on Sunday, so not many people are headed into town.  We headed to the back of the bus in hopes to have a little room for our big boy.  After some rearranging and not quite fitting, he got into position.



It's been a while since he has had a chance to watch out the window, so he was happy about the view.

We got off the bus and headed down the city streets.  There were a lot of new smells and distractions!


Spring Flowers!


We visited the cathedral, and took turns going inside.  Even though there aren't tours, the building is open most of the day, and Chris spoke to someone inside.  There are English tours the first weekend of each month during the off months, then twice a day during the summer.


It's not a neck brace, I was trying to embrace the sun =)


After a lot of city street walking and chasing some ducks we found this park with an art installation of some sort.  There wasn't a plaque or sign, so we have no idea about the art or the building in the background.

There are ducks in the shadows




After a little more exploration Charlie found a hobbit hole!  We have NO idea what was going on here, but there was certainly some sort of underground building.

So after a couple hours of walking the streets, Charlie ended his day like any good Swede, with fika al fresco! (Ok maybe just mom and dad had coffee)


In case you were wondering what Tyler was up to during all this adventuring.  It wasn't much.

    1. Shew, it's hard. The colors make me think it's warm even when it's not.
