Ystad, canal, SwedenFor a first pastry, choose one where you can get a car-picnic sandwich at the same time, for later. A recurrent sandwich theme, all open-faced, is a large hunk of great bread beneath, lettuce, tomato, them come the large shrimp just spilling over, and cucumber, etc etc.

Ystad's residential and commercial streets: Haunts of Detective Kurt Wallander, mystery series by Henning Mankell.
Ystad residence, half-timber, angled brick fill, SwedenThis may look like the same house (no wonder you can't find the car), but look closer. There are little faces up there, above the windows on this one. It is never enough to remember half-timber house on corner, because too many are. And the colors of the brickwork and half-timber -- remember those as well.
