Barsebäckshamn

On Sunday (Sondag), Susan took me to a place called Barsebäckshamn. It is the most beautiful little coastal village! All of the houses are so darling, and yet they are so sturdy because they have to stand up against the harsh winds that blow off of the sea. It was a particularly windy day when we were there, and the air felt like autumn. It is refreshing for me to be living in a place with seasons again, although I do miss the clear, sunny, warm days in Santa Cruz. Even though the air felt cold, there were quite a few kids swimming in the waves. A sign said that the water temperature was 18 degrees (about 65 in Fahrenheit), but the kids looked like they were just in a bath. Susan and I decided not to join them, needless to say. There is an amazing path that goes along the water and passes by the houses and we walked on that for a while. It was very windy, though, and I was feeling a little under the weather, so we went back to the little café by the harbor and had coffee and a little waffle. I feel so privileged to be shown around by a local, who knows all of the best spots! Thank you so much Ralph and Michelle, I wish you were here too to show me around!
