To celebrate my 41st birthday we booked the adventure track high up in the trees in Fjällnora. Some death defying adrenalin rushes and some muscle pain after this -- showing I need to visit the gym more regularly. We did this adventure in the pooring rain.

Martin Luther is NOT the same historical figure as MARTIN LUTHER KING Jr. Germany is not the same nation as the US. Martin Luther was the great GERMAN reformer of the 1500s. Martin Luther King Jr. was the great civil rights American reformer of the 1960s. I keep trying to help this organization, but they don't seem to worry about trivia like historical facts.
