Swimming...

So, what really began to get us to Sweden was the fact that my grandpa is here for the World Master's swim meet.... In case no one knew.

We have been to two of his events so far. He has not been doing as well as he would have wished, but still doing great I think (he is 80). I feel quite scarred by all the men in speedos...especially jostling through them to get to the other side...all the near nakedness is quite appalling. Even more so with all the old men. There was one contestant who was 97. It took him forever to finish the race, but he did, and the cheering for him was loudest of all.

Funny fact, Anna has decided to try swimming for her esercise. I don't think it has anything to do with the swim meet, more her consultation with Jacob and his suggestions for her physical well being :) She begins in a lake up a mountain near our residence tomorrow. Wish her luck!

  2. Hello Elise! We are finally home from the hospital and now we can follow your blog! For some reason it wouldn't load on my computer when we were there :/ ...I'm so glad to be seeing your pictures of Sweden and hearing about the time you are having. Can't wait to hear more!
    Love, Mrs. M
