Cher's Overseas Adventure

Ostersund, Sweden

I spent two rather uneventful days in Uppsala, Sweden while Rob attended meetings at the university. We went to Ostersund, an area where my grandfather’s relatives live, for the weekend.

Many members of my family are in horse racing business. They breed, train and race horses. We spent an afternoon at the farm, touring barns, meeting racehorses, viewing racing prizes, looking at old family photos, and eating delicious homemade soups, breads,and cookies.
