A Day in Ostersund August 10, 2006

Nothing too exciting today. We walked around this town of 58,000 and then visited Jamtli, a living history museum. This open air museum is sectioned off into different periods of history displaying farm and small town life. People in period costumes go about everyday life while interacting with the visitors. The only problem was that it was all happening in Swedish so a lot of the one liners they were throwing out were lost on us.

After the museum it was a late lunch and then back to the hotel. We are staying at the Hotell Jamteborg. This is a small hotel that is part of a conglomeration of hotels and hostels here in Ostersund. Nothing fancy but it’s clean and comfortable for the most part. We do have one issue. There are two twin beds in the room. One is a rollaway that in our case has legs that will not lock in the up position, so I spent the night at floor level but slept well.

Tomorrow we pick up a car and drive north a hundred miles or so to a fishing camp. Stay tuned for pictures of the ones that got away.
