Off to Gotland -- Our Mission Tour begins

The rock formations are truly a wonder of nature. We are happy we saw the work of the Master.
The soft, curly haired sheep are famous from Gotland. They are pretty shy when the camera comes out.

Our favorite is the red, shaggy Gotland pony. We know he'll stay warm this winter!


Famous Swedish producer, Ingmar Bergman and wife are buried on Fårön.



Horses on the island were found wild years ago. They are now pets and are gentle and interesting to see.
The island is scattered with old windmills no longer in use. They were used to grind the grain and pump the water.
The northern most beach is a place to see unusual granite pillars left by erosion from the ice age.

Herreys take us to one of the 94 Swedish churches on the Island. Churches are decorated for All Saints Day.
The car is driven onto the ferry for the short trip to Fåron, which is on the extreem north end of Gotland.
