Uppsala and Rattvik Midsummer Celebration

Dinner at St Andrew's Pub last night! Fabulous food! Salmon with crayfish cream sauce and dill cream sauce with bay shrimp! And a free birthday dessert!

 Today we went to Uppsala - a lovely University Town where we sang in the most beautious church for a few folks- a  guerilla  concert- then since the town was shut down for Midsummer Night Festival we walked to the botanical garden on campus- saw a cute cat named Alex being walked on a leash!
