Spring has sprung, bitches

We have been intensely enjoying the outdoors like the rest of the town! Its about 40F everyday now and absolutely lovely. Karlskrona in the winter is pretty but kind of like a ghost town. Now people are out walking their dogs, plants are bursting through cracks in the sidewalk, and we can sit by the water without ice collecting below our noses. Yay!

Go plants!

Karlskrona, by the naval base

It really is something else here...so pretty.  The clouds are so gorgeous and always making it that much more picturesque.

Björkholmen

The bjorkholmen is a small neighborhood made up of wooden cottages.  Dating back to the 1700's, the neighborhood began as housing for the shipyard workers (the shipyard being directly adjacent to it).  Now, many of the bright cottages are preserved and in use.  Our new friend John is living in one for the school year, and I can't wait to go inside one of these!

Around Dragsö

Exploring town a little

Old train tracks run all around town, now they are a pedestrian path.  

There are old walls still standing in town that new buildings are built right into.  Much character here!

First impressions

This town is calm and pleasing to the eye.
