I discovered recently that my home town is twinned with, amongst other towns, Wilmington, Delaware in the USA. My immediate thought was to wonder whether it would be possible to get into contact with homeschoolers there (everybody homeschools in America, right?)

Imagine my surprise then, when I discovered this week that the town of Wilmington was founded my Swedish pilgrims! The town is so deeply influenced by its Scandinavian foundations (its architecture, for instance, is recognizably 'Nordisk') that it really is known as 'New Sweden'.

My attempts to contact homeschoolers in Wilmington has fallen flat on its face so far, but I was so thrilled to discover the connection that I thought it would be worthwhile to try and encourage some interest in our twin towns (or 'sister cities' as they are apparently known in the US).

If you would like to know more about Wilmington, take a look at Wikipedia’s article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilmington%2C_Delaware
Hopefully more on this to follow!
Hej, Hej!
