2009-09-02 Bastuträsk and Skellefteå
Picked up at the train station in Bastuträsk by cousin Christer. He has been staying in touch with my mother for a very long time and stays at her house in Florida when he goes there to buy cars and parts. He and his wife Eva are waaay into American cars and he is apparently the local guru in Skellefteå.
We stayed there for several days including a trip with cousin Eskil (who taught Eva to drive long ago) up to the family stomping grounds somewhere around Ersmark. There we met a bunch more cousins, half of whom were out of work. Before that gathering we had lunch with Eskil and his wife Vera at their lovely place in Kåge.
