Smallest town hall in Sweden. It's so small we had trouble finding it in Sigtuna. |

This was on the wall in the Cafe at the Falun Mine. I thought it was a very good word. |

This is the paint that is used on so many homes and barns in Sweden. We were told the red color of the paint comes from the copper. | 20260520_090514163_iOS.jpg 1,764.12 kb

We had to put on hardhats and waterproof capes before going into Falun mine. It was 600 steps down and, of course, 600 steps up again to get out. Copper from this mine dates back to around 1000 AD. The mine closed in 1992 when the ore ran out. At one time the mine products 2/3 of the copper used in Europe. | 20260520_091056260_iOS.jpg 2,674.88 kb

A picture down in the Falun mine. There are electric lights now, but before that the men worked by lantern or torch light. It must have been as hot as hell down there because the smelting process was started down in the mine, too. | 20260520_105052527_iOS.jpg 4,946.02 kb

We walked around Sigtuna and down to Lake Malaren. We sat on the deck of a cafe and were happy to find that they served Cider. We shared a hamburger and fries while we enjoyed the view. We had an ice cream cone for dessert. Sigtuna was founded around 1000 years ago and was the first settlement in Sweden. | 20260520_154559377_iOS.jpg 4,374.53 kb

Yeah, daylight. Susan was pleasantly surprised she didn't get claustrophobic while down in the mine |
