we spent two days in göteborg, sweden, arriving mid-afternoon by bus from oslo.  the fall colors were at their peak and we spent two gorgeous days wandering around in a daze, drinking them in.  we also passed the statue of poseidon (with his large, er, fish) in the götaplats many times, walked through haga, and made the requisite pilgrimage (in its homeland after all!) to IKEA for swedish meatballs.  we explored the massive slottskogen park and spent a rather long time watching a young male moose munching dreamily on a bundle of twigs.

one of my oldest friends, taz (pen pals since about 1991) showed us around, hosted us for a lovely dinner with her fiancé, and they also took us to the wonderful bohus fästning, a fort/castle/ruin at what used to be the norwegian border.  we explored alcoves, towers, tunnels and walls, and then picnicked like true kings in the courtyard.
