Sweden -- Day 4 -- June 22, 2009

This is the cottage.  It was built in 1726.  I cannot imagine raising a family in those three small rooms.  The ceilings are about 6 feet, and I have to duck through the entry ways to keep from hitting my head.  Electricity has been added, but there is no running water.  Here also is the outhouse.  Quite a nice one in my view.

Today my sister-in-law showed me around Mjolby, her hometown.  The cemetary there is owned and maintained by the town.  Residents pay a funeral tax.  The urns, biodegradable, are buried in these little plots, which are maintained by family members of the deceased.  It is quite a beautiful spot.

Tomorrow, to Malmo.  The fourth greenest city in the World, according to Grist.com.
