For now I have no pictures, we forgot our camera in the apartment. I'll see if that changes when Micah wakes up.
For once, everyone got going almost on time, so we made it to Bethel just a few minutes late. My dad's old Bethel-buddy was waiting for us, and his wife was going to give the tour.
Sweden used to have their own printery, but it ended up getting moved (Question: Where did the printing of the magazines get moved?) because Swedish tax-laws turned Swedish Bethelites into the most expensive Bethelites in the world. Now the family consists of only 80 and many of those are really old. Talking about really old. They had a museum showing off some of the old equipment they used for printing the magazines, and the oldest looking one was the machine my dad used to work on when he lived at Bethel... I said they should make a wax figure of him to stand next to it.
We had lunch with the Bethel family, and got to see some old friends that we haven't met for years. It was nice to catch up a bit, and funny to see how some have gotten old... but then again, so have we. :)
There is a really nice gazebo outside of the Bethel home where they have a pond full of goldfish and a fire-heated brick pizza-oven.After lunch we drove to Örebro, which is a bigger city about 30 minutes away from Nora. There we met with Sanna, Sam's sister and her kid for some adventure miniature golf. They had a pretty cool course made up of different landmarks around the city.
Sam ended up winning, finishing right on par, with the rest of us trailing in more or less successful ways.We decided to eat some Chinese, but ended up in a Thai
restaurant, which was actually awesome. It was a buffet, but all the meat and vegetables were raw, so you brought them up to the cooks, and you got to watch them make it. Everyone loved it. Sam even found an elephant to ride on. The only downside to the place was the waiter... or waitress... well you get the idea. I think we ended up deciding that it was just a male with make-up and a pony-tail.
Back at the apartment most everyone fell into a food-induced coma, but my sisters and I played a game of Carcassonne, a board game that was a bunch of fun.
Time is running out...

The Germany Branch does the bulk of the printing for Europe.
AS for the board game here is a brief description.
The Carcassonne is a clever tile-laying game. The southern French city of Carcassonne is famous for its unique roman and medieval fortifications. The players develop the area around Carcassonne and deploy their followers on the roads, in the cities, in the cloisters, and in the fields. The skill of the players to develop the area will determine who is victorious. The game is for ages 8 and up and 2 to 5 players.
