Bouquet to Sweden

I have lived in Los Angeles for 29 years and since 1962 I am an American citizen. Every year I go home to the south of Sweden, to Karishamn, where my whole family lives.

Why I write is that I know that U.S. citizens are afraid to travel to Sweden. My friends are very worried about me because of the nuclear accident in Russia. But nobody here has had any feeling of it because we are far away and the winds were with us.

Every morning that I am in Karishamn, I walk through the forest and listen to the birds. It is very lovely. I would like you to know that Sweden, in my humble opinion, is very safe. I am sure that anybody who likes fresh air, green forests and wild flowers and lots of good food would enjoy a trip here.
