Album:2009:07-06 Herrang
|
|
My 9th Herräng, and I finally buckle down and buy a "home" in Sweden.
It was quite a trip, and interesting to set some roots down of a sort.
By my calculations I've spent about a half of a year of my life in Herräng, which is nice.

Unbelievably, my cat surprises me
by getting ready to go the day before we leave.

The DanceBana

Kyle and Anne dance

|
..And then something happens.
|
..and it is laughter.
|
My favorite place in Herrang,
the mine
|
Sara decides to join me.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
..as does a little frog
|
Dave becomes an elven prince
|
I bring Four-Square back to Herrang

I go for a spike
[Video]
|
Bobby shows us
how he played back in the hood. [Video]
|
..and he's good,
but even he makes mistakes [Video]
|
..and even I can fail
[Video]
|
|

|
|
A nice volley
showing a violation of the 'only own square' rule [Video]

Two puppies meet.

Much to the happiness
of one of the puppies.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mr. P in the Igloo
|
..where we spend much of our time
|
..and she's quite used to it.
|
But not used to being hugged
to death by Klavdia
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Back to Four-Square
|
Chester shows us his genius
at the game (none)
|
When the volley goes that high,
somebody is going down [Video]
|
Another great volley
[Video]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
..And Mark show's his great skills
|
My dream finally comes true,
and I become a "homeowner" in Sweden.

getting set up

My new bedroom
|
Calle has an inspiration,
and open's the first Denny's franchise in Herrang.

Working at Denny's!
Kyle needs to work on his bacon prep

Zurich Alex had asked

After the success of Denny's,
Calle has the genius to open a Hooter's [photo Stu]

I don't remember why I was an angel,
but evidently I am.
|
One of the many Herrang cats.
|
Swedish Agnes agrees
to something very foolish, which I will cash in on someday.

We attack Mark
with what looks like a giant turd but is actually part of his costume [photo George Yi]
|
A pirate Captain gets a massage
from one of his wenches, as it should be.
|
..while driving his craft.
|
Lennart, as we all know,
is Superman
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
...and Mark, as we all know,
is evil.
|
...and it takes Kevin to save the day.
|
I was given this "mission"
to accomplish for points. We only got points the first time we accomplished a mission, but the other superhero's didn't need to know that. Best mission ever.
|
One of the evil villian missions,
I presume, ends up making a huge pile out of the bikes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Teardown week,
the tents disappeared.
|
..and most of the trailers gone
(mine is the last one in the back.)
|
The inside of my home,
right before leaving.

Chilling in Stockholm..
|
After Herrang, a nig..Chicago for dancing.
|
And after Chicago,
some die hards walk around Stockholm
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
..and we see the city from up on high.
|
I come back for one night in Stockholm
|
..and hang out with
the lovely Agnes from Poland
|
..who glows in the sun
|
|
|
|
|
I also manage to rip a tendon
in my ankle.
|
And my whole foot puffs up and bruises.
