Arnold and Newlin: Skokloster, June 1970

Skokloster was another castle we visited repeatedly.

How this barn accommodates the road tickled us every time we drove past it

We also enjoyed the run stones in the vicinity of Skokloster:

Arnold and Newlin: Sigtuna, Sweden, March 1970

A favorite outing from our base in Uppsala was Sigtuna, a small town of Viking origin with a number of well preserved rune stones and ruins of early churches. On March 30, 1970, we took Laura and Walter there.
