About Places With Ghadir: Full name "Places I want to visit with Ghadir". This is a series inspired by what I want to do with Jeem(Ghadir). Travel the world. Duh!. Last place was Jerusalem,Israel.
Fun fact, Ghadir and I always talk about just leaving the U.S and moving to Sweden.Just get away from all the madness in the world. Yeah, some of ya'll crazy. "Cabin away from everybody" I always say. This picture reminds me of that and I would love to own this house. I wonder if they would sell it. For 80 packs of gum. That's how I roll. I guess this "Places With Ghadir" is more of a "Future Home With Ghadir". Yeah, I really want it, this house.
Or maybe I will check out http://hispersonalbest.com/ and get something in North America.

Scoff Semlor (Cream Buns)
It's only right that as a foodie I start off with this, they had me at 'Cream'. Cream filled donuts are my favorite and then you take it to the next level with a bun? Man, this a BIG donut, I'm in.

Ice Skate With Vikings in Vikingarännet
Wait, what? Can skate with the Vikings? Can we also wear the horn helmets? Ooooooh. Vikingarännet attracts tourists every February who wish to ice skate the 80 kilometers between Uppsala and Stockholm. The race supposedly follows “an old viking route” on Lake Mälaren which allows athletes to take in Viking sights along the way.
The Ice Hotel, located in Jukkasjärvi, is a hotel made completely out of snow and ice. Also, an art project, this accommodation shifts forms each season, so depending on what you want to experience (a free-flowing river or a rock solid ice cube) will dictate when you should stay here. While a bit out-there, it is definitely a unique experience that you should try at least once.
