What a trip it has been!

Well, we arrived in Sundsvall rested up and ready for the Rotary District Conference. In Sundsvall we visited Permobil, a company that manufactures wheelchairs. We saw vehicles being outfitted for people with disabilities. It was interesting as they build wheelchairs for all types of terrain. Thursday we were treated to a soccer game as the local Sundsvall team was playing a team from the south of Sweden. Before the game we gathered in the VIP room and had a drink. After the soccer game we had a Pot-Luck dinner with Laura's host family, Peter and Gunilla. The food was great! Another host, Anna-Lena, made meatballs, some of the first Swedish meatballs we had while travelling.

Saturday afternoon, the team gave it's final presentation. We are thankful as we have recited about 15 presentations and know each other's story so well! Saturday night we were guests at the Rotary Dinner held in Sundsvall's old town hall in a beautiful meeting room. It was nice to meet Rotarians from around the district and to visit with friends we have made along the way. Today we said goodbye to our wonderful families in Sundsvall. The team flew to Stockholm where we were met by Sandy's husband Arthur. The team said it's goodbyes for now. Laura will continue her travels in Ireland, Vanessa and Alex depart Stockholm in a few days, and Erin leaves Stockholm on Friday while Sandy and Arthur head to Norway.

We have had an amazing visit to Northern Sweden. We were able to see and experience such wonderful things and feel that we have developed lifelong friendships. The team was wonderful, and we enjoyed being with each other. Our thanks go again to the Rotary Foundation for this opportunity and to the local clubs for sponsorship. We look forward to sharing memories when we return home.
