Swedish Village At Kingsburg

IT WAS A VERY QUIET MORNING when we drove in to Kingsburg, a Swedish-American town also known as "Little Sweden"... the name given by the community.  To keep up with the town's Swedish history, they have most of the retail businesses designed in Swedish architecture.
Valkommen... I guess that means Welcome?

Hope I am right!
The town was very quiet cos we were quite early when we reached there.. the place looks very clean and peaceful too...
Along the streets, I took these pictures in the moving car...
Swedish structures..
Then we parked our car right in front of this cafe....
Wanted to get some shortbread and coffee to ride with us.....
For the Birds?  Now I am wondering what that is... 
hahahaa...
While waiting.....
Upon entering... filled with homely displays...
And shortbread... we bought the "loose" ones..trying each of this and that....
And these two cats caught my eyes....
Ok, which one is the real?
The Black or The Brown?
Make a guess!

    What a lovely place. That is why I love these western countries compared to our Asian destinations - so nice just to walk around and look-see all around the places, the shops, the things...but of course, cannot buy anything - too expensive, even before conversion.

    A very beautiful, clean and quiet town. I do not mind walking around.

    Er? I thought both cats are fake?? But they are sure look huge and pretty. Well, if I have to pick I go for the brown cat.

    very beautiful place and good timing to be there early so that you can really enjoy the scene while it is still quiet.. i guess it would be a little more packed with people later in the morning?? very nice decorations inside, and OMG, those two cats are really real and real!! hahaha, one of them is real and the other fake?? errr, it's so hard to tell..

    My brother in law is from Sweden and I know little about his culture & country except their highest living cost in Europe. Valkommen is a greeting for means Welcome or Good Tastes.

    Both cats look so real but they are both FAKES!!!
