Gotland


We have been traveling in Gotland, Sweden for the last couple weeks. We are staying with a family that runs a large organic (ekologisk) farm on Gotland, in the town of Dalhem, but live on the small island of Fårö (where Ingmar Bergman lived and died)
.


While here, we have spent some time working on the farm (harvesting potatoes, onions, and carrots), quite a bit of time reading on the beautiful and unusual beaches, and some time touring around Gotland. The main industries here are: tourism, limestone mining, and farming. We have had a lot of amazing experiences, met some fascinating people, and have learned a lot. We will be posting about our various experiences in more detail in the coming week.
