Visby Sweden

Visby Sweden is a small town on the island of Gotland. They say that it is Sweden's island vacation spot. This I could believe easily. Leslie and I could spend a couple of weeks here with no problem. We went to the Botanical Gardens and even though it was small it was gorgeous. There are a lot of ruins as the hay day for visby was 700 years ago.  We walked all around and then happened upon a market. We both found a couple things that were very nice.  I got a wooden bow tie that's in the shape of a mustache and Leslie got some beautiful earrings. She also found a really nice watercolor painted by a local artist. We stopped in at the coolest tea shop we've ever seen. So many teapots, types of tea and tea accessories.  Had we had another suitcase we would have bought a lot of items.
