The morning was spent fooling around a bit with CADKEY in Bengt’s office, which is in a little cottage on his property.

Then, we traveled in Bengt’s hobby car, a 1989 Lincoln Continental Mark V, to the small historic harbor town of Dalarö. Located on the coast southeast of Stockholm, it was an important point of departure for folks heading for Europe in the old days. As a matter of fact, I have read an account of Olof Rudbeck leaving from here on his way to study medicine in Europe after receiving a grant from Queen Christina. We had a nice lunch here and visited an interesting museum featuring the history of the Swedish Customs offices.

Each summer there is a special day at Skansen when people are invited to come wearing the folk costumes from different areas of Sweden. Bengt’s wife Christina is from northern Sweden, and is shown here modeling the dress that she will wear to the festival.While visiting Bengt, I was able to receive a couple of e-mail messages from home by way of Bengt’s computer.
