Gothenburg

I loved Gothenburg.  It was windy and a bit cold when I was there, but the town is beautiful and I loved wandering around with my son.  We spent all day and saw not only where son's partner and son work (hospital and school, respectively) but also the 'Fish Church', the Iron fountain, the round hospital (now a teacher's training college) and lots of thrift shops.

Where she works

A wonderful art work in the hospital

Gothia Towers - some people don't like them.
They certainly stand out!

Some birds and me outside son's school.

The bookshop where I found postcards and some good paper for watercolours.

The shop where I bought stamps for my postcards

A dear wee church right in the middle of the city. 

The Feskekorka, 'Fish Church'.  So named because it looked a bit like a church after it was finished.
Built to provide cover over the fish market that was on this site for centuries.

Järntorget - the Iron Square fountain.

Järntorget - the Iron Square fountain.  Commemorating the
square where the iron scales used to be and the iron was weighed out.
The fountain has a woman from each corner of the world where the iron used to go.
Here is Miss South Seas with a shell to her ear.

One of the largest second hand shops in the world.  It is four stories!
I wanted a pair of jeans but was so overwhelmed by choice, I walked out again. 

My son taking a photo for some tourists in the old part of Gothenburg.

Cinnamon rolls - heavenly!
