Gotland

This past weekend I took a trip to Gotland - an island in the Baltic Sea, off the eastern coast of Sweden. After a very turbulent 30-minute flight (the island is very windy), we arrived on the beautiful viking island. Ruins of viking forts and churches can be seen at nearly every turn. Although Gotland is the poorest province in Sweden, it is a beautiful place that showed me a good time for the weekend, so I have nothing but great impressions!

the first of many ruins seen from our bus window

Lunch included a performance by this insane fire dude.

some of the Gotlandic silver that is found in hordes, even to this day

I'm in a ruin!

some fun, climb-able, huge rocks deformed by wind and water
