Day 1 – Back in Kansas

We have just passed by the old Swedish colonies I visited back in 2003 – Lindsborg and Falun, KS. I am quite nostalgic to be back in Kansas again after 5 years! Last time I was here was when I was studying at K-State as an exchange student and where I got my first interest...
