From Hälsingland we went southwest
to the province of Dalarna, where we
stayed in a 200-year-old cottage on a
working farm. Our excursions took us
to art museums, organ concerts, and
music sessions. We visited the
workshop of a man who tailors
traditional costumes in Rättvik, made a
scenic drive around Lake Siljan, and
attended the huge Bingsjö fiddle
festival.
