Mora – Vackra Stad (beautiful town)
We headed to Mora, because it was near Anders Zorn’s birth place, it was where Zorn lived and where the Zorn museum was located. It was a charming and beautiful little town.
Wow, what a difference a day makes! I was really excited about traveling to Mora. We took a comfortable train from Stockholm to Mora. Once in Mora, we had a very long walk to our Best Western hotel. Now, don’t turn up your nose; it was nice. This hotel and the Djurönäset Hotel and Spa where we stayed at Värmdö were completely comparable. Unfortunately, I was assigned a room with 2 other women. The problem was there were 3 women for only 2 beds. I’m a sport, but I just couldn’t do it. So, I went downstairs with my friend Julia and we booked ourselves another room to share. Thank God there was a room available.
Next we unpacked our art gear and off we went to look for something to paint. Julia and I ended up at the waterfront and although it was lovely, I wasn’t inspired so I turned around and painted the skyline of the little town of Mora with the lake behind me.
Next, we had a fun dinner with the gang at a local restaurant and then went to watch Jeremy do a demo in front of our hotel at 10 PM. Yep, you heard me correctly a planned demo at 10PM. I was worried about such a late demo, but Jeremy knew that the Swedish sky was gorgeous at twilight; as you can see from the photos. The sky was even more beautiful here than in Värmdö.
