Today started with a little operation at the dentist office, Akuttandvården, on Odinsgatan just a 5 minute walk from the apartment.

The infection was a bit more difficult than they first thought and had to do a root filling. It took about 1.5 hours. There’s a lot of detail I’d rather not write about, but afterwards when the painkiller wore off it felt great. No more hot/cold sensitivity. The dentist who did the work was amazing and so far has done a great job fixing my tooth. (I might have been able to prevent all this if I’d listened to Rhonda back in December.) I have 1 more appointment in May to get it capped.

Later that day, after dinner, we walked to the Götaälvbron bridge about 20 minutes away to see if we could take a few pictures. It was a confusing walk going through the maze of roads to get onto the bridge. After a try to two, we finally made it onto the correct side of the bridge and started our walk to the center.

It turned out to be cooler than we first anticipated. The wind was a steady breeze which became cooler as sunset approached. Anyways, we took a few good ones and these will give you a little idea of what we were up to.

This is a 100 year old Danish ship that sailed around the world trading. It is now used as a hotel and restaurant.

Here’s one of the “Lipstick” building and the same ship.

While on the bridge many buses and cars were speeding by shaking the structure as we were taking pictures. Here you can see the blur of one passing by us.

Finally, I just like this one of the road and walking path returning home. There is a very cool breeze, the sun has set, there’s bridge steel shaking as a bus goes by, some of the city background shows and finally you can see a few signs along the way.  Chad
