I would love to visit Sweden, my grandparents were from Sweden. After a few moves they settled in Massachusetts, I remember visiting when I was little. my grandpa would sing songs in swedish while I sat on his lap next to the coal fired stove. We often came home with my favorite swedish bread a braided cardamon loaf with sugar on top. My grandpa would sip coffee from the saucer holding a sugar cube in his teeth.
