Most people in the world have heard of the awe-inspiring and mysterious megalithic site in England called Stonehenge, but of course, it doesn’t stand alone. Sweden’s Ales Stenar is equally as mysterious, as the reason for its construction or the method used remains unknown. These 59 stones were placed in the shape of a ship but was it more than a burial ground?

I don’t even know what kind of question to ask but I always like asking people who live in different countries this: If you could pick 3 places in your country for people to visit/ things to do what would you recommend? What 2 things would you recommend they eat? What is one souvenir they should buy?
Hi darling! Thank you so much for your question and for participating!

I’d say the megalithic monument of Ales Stenar, consisting of 59 large boulders forming a stone ship, in Ystad. The Botanical Gardens in Gothenburg. And Malmö as a whole. It’s an amazing city.

If people are visiting, I’d say they should try a traditional meal of meatballs, boiled potatoes, brown sauce and lingonberry. And smörgåstårta. I’ll include a picture.

A dalahäst. It’s made out of wood and traditionally painted in a red colour with patterns. Made in Dalarna, you can buy it in a lost of other places. It’s supposed to bring good luck.

WEEK 4
This work week was cut short by the Easter holidays, Thursday is also supposedly traditionally a day of half work-half rest in Sweden so I was told I could stay at home and maybe work a bit if I wanted to. I worked a bit in the morning and then headed off to Malmö to visit a mall and on a souvenir search. The mall was very big and full on this day, the search for souvenirs was however, unfruitful but I did get to visit a Sephora and loop the same three floors several times quickly. After that, I headed off to the central station area where google maps told me there'd be a small souvenir shop nestled among the buildings. To my dismay, I found out that the souvenirs in this city are ridiculously expensive for no reason (7 euros for a magnet?!?!?), so I left the shop sorely disappointed. I decided to take a bit of a walk near the central station since I was already there but the weather was also dismal and I didn't last long before I decided to call it a day and head home.

That evening I researched where I could find cheap souvenirs and saw a suggestion for a shop named 'Lucu Foods', the next morning as I was getting ready I got a message from the two others Germans if they could accompany me in lieu of staying Lucu Foods is a large international foods market with very decent prices, there were loads of products from Germany, but also from Serbia. We were all delighted, despite having entered the aisles with no carrying equipment we all three circled back around at some point to grab a basket when our arms no longer sufficed. There were unfortunately though, no souvenirs to be found. After that, we jumped on a bus to Max Burgers- a Swedish fast food chain that is something off a cross between McDonalds and Burger King. It was my first time trying it but I unfortunately forgot to take a photo. Then we went on a bit of a walk through the city and grabbed the next bus back home.

The next day, I joined some of my Spanish roommates that had rented a car on a trip to see some rocks. Or to be more specific, rocks that were in fact, an approximately 1400 year old monument of disputed origin. We parked near the water and hiked up to Ales Stenar, it was windy and there were cliffs nearby looking out over the ocean. If I'm being honest this captivated me far more than the rocks on a purely physical level. On a mental level, yes it is a trip to witness in person something made a millennium (or more) ago. But my eyes tired of the sight quickly, while the ocean I couldn't look away from.

After that we went to a small beach, and then drove back to the Slott where I met my new roommate.

The next day I ventured out once more to Malmö and walked across the city stopping in to any souvenir shop I could find and eventually capitulated to the original shop where I could at least get a 10 percent discount on my 16 euro purchase of three magnets.

And that was that! Four days Easter weekend went by in a flash and then off to work again for the next week.

One hundred and sixty-six weeks vs. Two hundred and thirteen weeks / Forty-nine months vs. Three hundred and four weeks. I visted Ales Stenar today. It’s a very, very long road to reach the stones and it was so painful in my ribs and my back but it worked out. I saw so many swallows today. They flew so close to me and I wish I was one of them. Up by the stones, it was very windy and in the wind I heard voices from the past. I saw a big white, fluffy dog in the harbor and its eyes seemed so kind and its tongue was so long. It was an old dog, I could tell by the way it was walking and it felt so special to see it. It felt like I was looking at Lullaby. A seagull was on the building behind the dog. It was picking its bib feathers and I looked amazed at it. Thomas often fixed with his bib and I often called him seagull. I heard the blackbirds sing and I heard the nightingale sing. I saw so many different types of flowers and it all felt so unreal. The weather to visit was perfect today. Sunny but cold; I still burned my face and it hurts so much. As we were driving from Kåseberga towards Sandhammaren, mum pointed out a roadsign to Backåkra. I didn’t turn my head to see and she said it again. I ignored her trying to not let the flashbacks consume me so they devoured me. I was there 6th of june 2019, Lullaby’s last summer. She was waiting for me at home while I visited the museum for Dag Hammarskjöld. Ever since she was taken, there’s this weird closed in smell all over the house. The if only’s will echo in my head even after I’m gone.
