SWEDEN (1ST TIME) + NORWAY + SWEDEN (2ND TIME)  
It was the Sunday after All Saints Day, a Swedish national holiday when I arrived in Skelleftea.  The holiday has something to do with honoring the dead, and the cemetaries were all lit up with candles and lanterns when I rode in.  Although Sweden does celebrate Halloween (imported from the U.S.), the real holiday is All Saints Day.  (11-7-04)
