Gotland here I come!

Monika!

Monika is having a Birthday! 

And it's so good to know.

So I'm crossing the ocean

With some presents in tow

The upper deck by night.
Can you hear the ice crushing?

Crossing the Baltic to Gotland can be done in many ways. One of the best ways to get to Visby is to take the ferry from Oskarshamn. "It takes just minute to like it." But... it takes about 3 hours to get to Visby. Cold beer is served on board. It you like fresh air and the sound of crushing ice, walk out onto the upper deck, look down into the water and listen.

P&P Enterprises camp site for the week-end

Upon my arrival in Visby I was greeted by none other than Dr. Einar Persson M.D. Not only a famous doctor, but owner and board member of P & P Enterprises International. Einar provided a small dinner and filled me in on all the latest corporate gossip.

The next morning, February 26th-Monika's birthday, we met at breakfast to plan for the day, and not the least, we had to find Monika's house! Breakfast at the Wisby is a great way to start the day. I wish I could experience it more often.

Greeting the morning from the
Wisby Hotel

We found Monika's address and much more. We also found the System Bolaget! Since we brought our trumpets along (this is not "guy talk"- I mean real brass trumpets) we stopped by Åkessons music store too. However we never really played much more than an arrival fanfare.

Ulla and Sture

Thanks Monika, her wonderful children and all her friends for the great fun. Many happy returns! I will try to up-load the video. Hope it works.
