I learned a great deal about the Swedish way of life today. I had a great tour with five other Americans who also were to be on cruises in the next day or two.
The tour guide was a 72 year-old retired military pilot. Although his father was originally from Switzerland, he migrated to Switzerland prior to the outbreak of World War II.
