He also wrote alot of pornographic literature. Besides
Sweden, he travelled only to the Netherlands and England in
his life, but he was probably the only one in the world to
collect seeds. He had 4 daughters & 1 son. This man was

who Latinized his name. When he was made a nobleman, it
was changed to Von Linné. His home is the Scandic
Hotel. Ground Upsala was one of the last major
hotbeds against Christianity. Eventually a church was built
on the old heathen temple site. The river that goes through
Upsala is the Fyrisån. Lightman went 4 days to
given cold. From ~19-20 we walked and visited
some including a quite good forest - Lightman went all time.
