Putting the 'up' in Uppsala

Hey y'all! I will post some more pics tomorrow, when I reach Karlskrona, but I just wanted to drop a line to let you know that Kyle and I once again traversed most of Sweden by car, and we arrived late last night to the town of Uppsala, which is just north of Stockholm. We received a warm welcome from Kyle's friend Marcus, who put us up for the night and acted as tour guide today. So far, Sweden has been really wonderful and friendly. It's a lot like Canada, with better fashions. Marcus had a particularly warm welcome when he was in Canada - he was interviewed by two Calgary radio stations and on the jumbo-tron at a Flames game - so he wants to give back some good travel-karma. Niiiiicce. We checked out Scandinavia's largest cathedral this afternoon, then went to the Upplands museum & shopped until the stores closed! After that, beeer!
It's off to Stockholm tomorrow, for a whirlwind tour, before we catch the plane south in the afternoon. More later...
