Luleå

Luleå is the first large city that we are visiting (pop.: over 100,000) and it is also our first city on the coast of Sweden's Baltic. It is located on the mouth of the Lule river and is a port for raw materials for the mines to the north.

Lennart, the District GSE Chair and his wife Margareta hosted all of us for a dinner party upon arrival. We were able to get together with the host families and enjoy a wonderful evening of hospitality.

Luleå has 4 Rotary clubs, they each meet at noon, so we will give our District presentations Mon.,Tues., and Wed., but we will not be here for the Friday meeting. Instead, the Rotarians have planned great vocational days for us. Stay tuned for reports from the team.
