Though the weather has been terrible in Falun this summer, nature is giving me a birthday present. Sitting in downtown Falun, drinking Swedish cider, which is so sweet I can only bear it on a hot summer day, listening to these great teenage street musicians who don’t even have a hat out because they are COMMISSIONED BY THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT. Ah Sweden.
Who am I?
An American bouncing between Falun, Sweden, and St. Petersburg, Russia with partner Kostia.
Current location: Falun.

Hejsan! I grew up in Falun and visit there every year in the spring time! It was a cold spring this year, but Falun is still very beautiful, specially at Gammla Herrgarden, where my mom lives! If you go to Falun, do it in the summer, and don’t miss the big mine! It’s a cool visit down there!! Bjorn in San Diego CA
