visiting the past

I'm back home from Lidköping where I spent three days teaching. It's a beautiful small town. It was so calm, so quiet. I had no internet access, didn't watch any TV, ate dinner by myself in a restaurant. All these things made me feel like I was visiting the past - Sweden in the past and myself in the past.

My three (!) students were highly motivated and talented. I enjoyed teaching them. When I came home last night it felt like more time had passed than it really had - something common with time travel. All the leaves had popped open like champagne bubbles and the world looked different.
