Super Superior

This morning Kristina, Sabina and I had our vocational day together.We were scheduled to meet up at 9 a.m. outside the City Building ofSuperior. Since I was staying in Duluth I just had to cross a bridgeand then I was in a new town and a new state. This is why Duluth and Superior go by the name "The Twin Ports".First we met the mayor Dave Ross, police chief Floyd Peters andsheriff Tom Dalbac. After having talked to them and compared oursystems Kristina tried a Taser, a non-lethal weapon that the Swedishpolice don't use. She now got to use it – a bunch of keys was hersubject. We then walked to the Emergency Communication Center and gotto see all the equipments that the people who answer 911 phone callscan use to help people fast. We also got a tour of the jail and the Court House.After lunch the whole group made a visit to the Cathedral of Christthe King, which has been newly renovated. Father Dan Dahlberg himselfguided us. He showed us an unexpected talent; he knew the old Swedish children's rhyme 'Rida, rida, ranka'.In the evening there was time for a social with Rotary clubs from thetwin ports. Some of us then went to a bar to sing karaoke. Ulf and Kristina did a great version of ABBA's 'Money, Money, Money'.
