Kiyomi had a nice birthday experience, we visited Roland's mother, Wiola. She lives in a very nice condo in the heart of Stockholm. On the way back we visited the Bergius Botanic Garden and Park where we saw a kitchen and herb garden, a Japanese garden and pond and many native plants. We then had dinner with Veronica and Sami, and met their 2 children, Felicia (3) and Victor (1 yr 3 months). The children are energetic dynamos. Johan was there, too; but we hardly recognized him. He had grown up to a handsome young man, quite different from the 10-year old we remembered from our last visit 20 years ago . We had a nice time, watching the kids play and hearing what they have been doing in the last 20 years. Veronica cooked the Italian delicious meal, and for dessert a fantastic chocolate and strawberry creation, with whip cream topping. Roland provided the wine from his company GustaVino, a special Chianti imported from the Italian island Elba that was an excellent companion with the meal. We found the sun still up at 11 pm when we finally went to bed; it set around midnight, then came up about 2 am.
