Gränna {candy city!}

Saturday Emilia and I went off to the candy city of Sweden!--Gränna.  We actually spent less time in the city than on the island Visingrö {fun fact: a island is ö in Swedish}.  We got to Gränna about 10AM and waited for the boat to the island, then explored the island for about 3ish hours and had a picnic lunch in there.  We could back to the visitor's center and we ended up talking to a lady from Jönköping about many things, including how bad my Swedish was.  We continued on to see the castle ruins and headed on back to Gränna and got some of the famous candy {candy canes}.  We then waited for the bus by climbing up to the top of a cliff face and getting a pretty good view!!

On to the pictures!!
