work and leisure











































Here is a little peek at where I work. You can look online at www.Kalenius.com.

The other pictures are from our picnic walk we took, a 10-11km mini hike. Mathias walked right by that snake and it scared the daylights out of me. His mom told me they were posionous. I guess they aren't deadly and not terribly harmful unless you are allergic to the venom, or so Mathias says. I will just avoid them.
It was really pretty and no other people, no mosquitoes yet either. Another bonus, no black flies at all. You Mainers would love it. A couple other random things they don't have are skunks or sugar maples. Sometimes I really feel like I am up at Moxie. I miss Moxie the most about home, aside from people of course.

I would like to thank all of you who answered about the glasses. I actually like the middle pair best, Mathias hates all of them. C'est la vie...and my dear Jen and Marion, sorry to hear the election went as it did in France. Maybe you will move back stateside?

Nice pics, what a beautiful hike :) the snake would have scared me too. Candy and I saw one walking by the bay the other day but it was a little guy and kinda cute, california king snake with red stripes, unfortunately Candy screamed and he took off.

well, I hope Matthias has strong arms, because i get pretty freaked out when I see snakes, and tend to jump in peoples arms... just saying in case you take us on a hike when we come over this summer.
I don't think we are going to move out of France, I guess the best thing to do is to stay and fight rather than flee. but if you show us how wonderful life is in Sweden this summer, maybe Jen will be ok with learning a new language again!
We don't really know when we will come, our financial situation is rather crappy :( . We are thinking about hitch-hiking or sharing a ride with someone to Copenhagen or Amsterdam to lower the cost of travelling, and maybe go from Malmö to Arvika by train. Is that do-able? Is the train a popular mode of transportation there?
