It’s tour day number one at the 2012 IFAJ Congress. I’m on tour bus #4, now known as “The Meat Wagon.” We visited Stenhammar Estate, a beef cattle farm run by the Swedish King Carl XVI Gustaf. Here’s our group posing with Helios of Mattarp, a champion bull. We had lunch with the Minister of Rural Affairs, Eskil Erlandsson and were served meat, meat and more meat!

On the bus returning to our hotel we sampled some snaps and practiced some drinking songs for some sort of competition tonight. Not sure what that’s all about. However, our group did our best to get ready. In fact, I recorded some of it.

Now after a nice swim in the lake here at Sanga Saby it’s time for supper.
