Kosta Boda Glassworks and Hotel (Nov. 20-21)

Believe it or not, Sweden is known for their high-quality glass. It is highly sought after and is of exceptional craftsmanship. Most of these glassworks have been open for 100+ years and have been passed from one generation to the next (this was founded in 1792 so older than our country). Kosta Boda is the favorite location of a many of the leaders in glass art, so there is a hotel that is affiliated with these artists. This is where we got to stay at for the trip we went. The hotel is one giant art museum that you sleep, live, and eat in. The hotel is very plush for this and the art factor the hotel is very expensive. Sadly for some reason, I didn't take photos of the art displays, so I will steal the photos from their website. If you want more you can always look photos up on google here.

Anyways on with why we were here in the first place. This was supposed to be a goodbye to our oldies, but because of the price tag, only two of the oldies could afford to come. There isn't a whole lot to say about the trip. We basically ate food, ate food, oh yah and ate food. But in all seriousness the trip was barely two days, so we didn't do a whole lot. We mostly talk, ate, did some swimming in cold water outside (keep in mind it was almost Dec.), went exploring, and watched glass be made. Was the trip very fun? Yes! Was it worth the steep price tag depend on who you ask :)

I forgot to mention that Kosta Boda has made several of the Eurovision Sound Tour trophies. (Blog Post Eventually Maybe?????)
