Arvika, Sweden




On July 28 I spent about five hours in Arvika while waiting for our Saab to get ready to hit the road again. It's a charming little town. I bought fresh local strawberries that I enjoyed while reading my book - The Brooklyn Follies - in the sun. I also scored a lovely glass osteklokke (does anyone know the English word for it?) at the market.

Where’s The Nearest Deportment Store?

An illegal immigrant who scored a big win with a lottery scratch card in Sweden has appeared on television to collect his winnings - even though authorities have been trying to deport him. The 28-year-old won a tax-free prize of 1.2 million Swedish kronor.

FOOTNOTE: Swede revenge.

Borgholm Castle in Borgholm, Sweden, is today only a ruin of the fortress that was first built here in the second half of the 12th century and many times rebuilt in later centuries.
