In the morning, Peter wasn't feeling well, so Mike and
Kairi and I went out for a little walk ourselves. I think this was a
statue of a man who donated a lot of money to the city.

Mike and the wealthy statue have a little conversation.

View from a bridge over the channel. The channel flows
around the oldest part of the city (although there are many modern
buildings there). The area protected by the channel would have been a
natural place to start settling.

I can't remember who this was, but I think it is King
Gustav II Adolf, the Swedish King who granted Gothenburg its trade
charter.

This is the Cathedral (litterally, the "Dome Church").
This isn't to be confused with the "Fish Church" which is just a big
fish market.

There were a lot of really nice green areas in the
city. Even apart from the parks, there were spots like this that made
the city very pretty.

This sculpture was on "The Avenue" (officially
Kungsportsavenyn), just a little way from our hotel. We met up with
Peter and headed out again.

|
I took a picture here earlier (the third pictures in
this album), but now that it has gotten sunny, I wanted another one.

Since Peter was recovering, we decided not to do more
walking and instead took a boat tour over to Elfsborg Fortress, a large
fort on an island that had been used to defend the city.
