Åre, Sweden

Last weekend we took another trip to Sweden with our favorite Swedes. First we rode the bus to Stjørdal, Norway (where the airport is located) so they could rent a car. Then we drove it to Sweden and filled it up with cheap groceries and booze. We saw two moose, stopped at Sweden's largest waterfall, and ate lunch at Sweden's best fast food burger joint. It was awesome.

Åre is an upscale, resort town that caters to skiers during the winter and mountain bikers during the summer.

We saw this cycling suit in the Specialized store but we didn't purchase it because we didn't know what size Jason wears.

Becca visited the gift shop of this old church even though the door was locked and there was no one there.

Grocery stores in America need more taxidermy. There was also a black bear and some kind of mountain cat.

Tiny pineapples - or giant watermelons?

The car had hidden smuggling compartments!

Tännforsen is Sweden's largest waterfall and it only requires a 15 minute detour to see.

The sun was shining and all of the snow is melting so there was a lot of water crashing over the falls.

All of the sprayed water keeps the air moist enough to support an endangered species of lichen.

The hallmark of any great road trip: a freezer filled with reindeer.
