Happy Holidays
from Catherine & Lars
I surprised my grand niece Signe, "Ziggy," by showing up in Paramaribo, Surinam, when she and "Gunilla" arrived there for a three-day visit.
Ziggy wanted "real food" after a month of ship fare across the Atlantic, so we sampled "local food!" 🤣

This is "Gunilla," the ship on which students at Öckerö Gymnasieskola do frequent trips during their three years.
Catherine planned to retire in 2025, so in November '24, we downsized to one car, returning this leased fun-machine. She then accepted an offer to work for another year... I have been sans auto since and really miss this beauty 😬
