Today we went to Sundborn and toured the house of Carl Larsson. It was better than stepping into one of his paintings, to see the actual rooms that inspired so many paintings and hear about his family, who inhabited those paintings. Much to Bruce's dismay, taking photos inside wasn't allowed. But, that didn't stop him from ending up with loads of pictures anyway! Here's a few:

Then to Sundborn's church built in the 1700's - Carl Larsson helped redecorate it during his
lifetime.

Carl Larsson painted these flowers on the choir loft.
Paintings above the altar are by Carl Larsson - his daughters were the models for the angels.

Here's Bruce chilling out while waiting for a tour of Carl Larsson's place.
And here are tubes of caviar at the grocery store - a breakfast staple in Sweden!
