This week we had science day at work. Much like last year, it's a day when we listen to what has been going on in the research lives of the scientists. The scientists on staff are all working toward developing instruments for the facility, which we hear about all the time, but we don't so often here what they do with their science. Some have students who talk and we can hear about those projects as well.
This year it was at Borgeby Castle. At some point it was owned by a Viking king. There was a large Viking market just across the river. This tower is one of the corners from the outer wall defense.
It was really old inside. I climbed up to the top and found this crazy mount facing the stairs as you enter the room.
It was a georgeous day! The warmest we've had yet this year, 80 degrees! It's good that I spent the free time outside that day, it's been 68-71 since. There was this big tree with lots of swings and they served fika (Swedish coffee time) outside.
The grounds were really nice. They have just finished building decks and walkways around the water. The castle has been privately owned since it was first built and the current owners are planning a lot of events to get people out to visit the site.
