The root of my soul

My first day in Upp­sala, Swe­den and I already hit ”Stan” where most shops and restau­rants are at.  I haven’t been back to my roots in a while so this was a big day for me.

First thing I noticed when we parked our car was these really big lights on this casual car. no offense but, what’s with the dramatic appearance?

You will find this sign on every ele­va­tor in every apart­ment build­ing. Yes, the ele­va­tors are that small and yes you will get your head cut off if you take a trash can in with you. :/

Here I am walk­ing around my old place look­ing for all the things that used to exist in my neigh­bor­hood. There used to be a kiosk here called “ICA”. Where the heck is it? and where do the local kids buy their candy from now?

I grew up play­ing on these toy swings. They are called “Gunga” in Swedish. Over 10 years ago when I was there, this same gunga was here. I hon­estly can’t bealive that they STILL haven’t both­ered replac­ing it with a new one or at least touch­ing up on the color.

THE CLASSIC GUNGA!

My old house was on the left of this rock I am sit­ting on. Me and this Rock go way back, I have grown up play­ing on this rock. Spent a lot of sum­mer days eat­ing dry worms  off of this rock. dis­gust­ing, but true. that’s why I have long legs.

Walk­ing around Gottsunda, you can find cherry trees all around.

It’s nice to have access to free fruit

Any­body that knows Gottsunda, knows these 5 Chicks! LOL
