Beach Day

Guess what day we picked for going to the beach? Naturally the one with the worst weather... go figure. The morning started out pretty nice and sunny, but Kathryn and I had some errands to run. First we washed our Golden car real quick so we can return it to the grandparents in good shape, and then we had to pick up Kathryn's passport at the police station which took forever.
We decided to go to a really nice beach about an hour away in the south of Sweden. Of course once we got there the rain started. We still stayed, because this was our last full day we were staying in Helsingborg, and we wouldn't get another chance to go swimming.
First we ate at a fish-place. Nice and fresh fish burgers for everyone, except for dad, who since he was being treated decided to get some kind of huge seafood sandwich. For some reason the place was crawling with wasps, and it seemed like all of them wanted to have a sip of my dad's Fanta. At one point there were 4 crawling on his can and another couple in his glass.
After that we headed down to the water.
Not everyone wanted to get in, as you can see, but once you got in, the water was quite nice.
We saw an interesting sign on the beach, and it will be the question of the day. What is the sign telling you?
Hint, the answer might lie in the end.
Back at the house we had some milk noodles and Falukorv (bonus question: What is Falukorv?) and then we had our meeting. Micah and Kristine hadn't gotten much out of the meetings in Swedish, so we had a little private meeting for their benefit. We promise we won't make a habit out of it though...
We ended the evening with hot open-faced sandwiches. Some with ham and pineapple and some with some mushroom gunk and ham which I didn't touch.

Falukorv is a large traditional Swedish sausage made of a grated mixture of pork and beef or veal with potato starch flour and mild spices.

The sign looks like it is indicating that nude bathing is prohibited for a certain distance and then after that distance it is allowed. So it seems that Swedes are an inhibited lot. Lol

I will concur with Denise about the sign & the clothing options that go with it. I'm sure u & Micah stayed toward the end of the beach

Isn't it kind of early to wash the car? Hej, what's with the towels on Kristine AND Micah? I understand Danes can have beards. Does that apply to visitors also?:)

Don't say that about the beards too loud, Mark. You will have about a dozen brothers defecting to Denmark. Hahahaha!

Malnaricks, I just want one Swedish fish ,,, from Sweden. Maybe you can let Jon have one bite of a chocolate bar. Jesus said that there is more happiness in giving than in receiving and we ALL want you to be really, really, happy!

At this point in time I would like to announce my retirement from competitive answering of David's questions.

As a parting gift I would like 3 salty liquorish rolls (you know what I'm talking about)

For more information: keep pondering because I'm not saying anything else

NO FURTHER QUESTIONS!!!


...that is all

OK ,,, I won't be posting early in the morning any more. I am scaring people. I will just stick to housework when I can't sleep and wait till later in the day to post. LOL!

David said...

Didn't see Stephen as a quitter, but I guess he wasn't ready to wake up early in the morning to win... And Micah and I decided we're keeping the beards :)

David said...

And by the way, Micah is very modest, that's all... :)
