Around town

My brain really doesn't feel like working too much tonight, so I didn't do anymore history research.  So I am going to put some pictures up that I've taken from around town and comment on them!

* NOTE from last one, I mentioned the Native Americans also because I am part Native American!  From both the Susquehanna and Mohawk tribes.  Of the Mohawks, in the Turtle Clan that St. Kateri Tekakwitha is associated with, so I could be related to a Saint!!

Science Park, Career related services [including starting your own business]

Juneporten

the way I walk to school every weekday

Sweden has a law where all strong alcohols can not be sold outside of these government run stores [except in restaurants and bars].  Thus the government controls the price of alcohol.  Which probably makes most people sad, I went to one once, while in Kiruna, and got a non-alcoholic drink ("special Swedish Christmas/winter drink")--which was pretty cheap, success, I know ;P  

Really big church, Protestant of some kind (I believe it is a Church of Sweden--Kind of like the Church of England......but in Sweden ;P)

The roofs are all made like this

fancy building outside school.....it just says it belongs to the town.

School


This is the campus of Jönköping University.  Not all the buildings are shown, there is also the communication and teaching school, health school, and a gym.  The yellow building is engineering, white is business/economics, and red the library.

Health school
