I’ve sorted out the photos from all vacations in the last months.
First I went with Frida to her parents place on the countryside. We were there for over two weeks and also visited a friend at Gotland, a small island in front of the Swedish coast. Relaxing, reflecting, finally seeing this beautiful Swedish lake with [...]

We already had some of this in the lectures [...]
