Saturday, May 26th, 2012

Today was not nearly as busy as the rest of our days.  Kristi did tour the Art Studio in Old Town and Steve went to the Asunda Folk Music Festival before the team met in the early evening to travel to the neighboring town of Sandviken (the literal translation would be something like "sandy beach").  There, we all participated in a classic American car parade.  That's right, Swedes have a particular affinity for American muscle cars from the 50s and 60s.

This was also the last night for Eurovision.  The contestant from Sweden, Loreen, took home the grand prize.  She is the fourth contestant from Sweden to do this (ABBA won with "Waterloo" in 1974).  Sweden will, as a result of Loreen's win, host Eurovision in 2013.
