Halmstad Bibliotek

So many people ride bikes here, even more than Portland. So green!

Sinks were outside the bathroom.

Later that night we visited the stone quarry, but not before the candy store. Also some photos just from random shops around the area, fun patterns and such. I picked up a geometric colouring book made in Denmark in one of the stores! It is sooo hard to find anything "Swedish" here that isn't made in China.

Patterns.

Another museum to add to my list. Had some amazing abstract and surrealist stuff in here.

Neat building I finally had time to walk over and photograph. Old brewery, still is. Connected to part of the old wall.

Another of the green-glazed brick building built for one of my ancestors by her royal husband.
