Wasn't the Uppsala area mainly known for Yngve-Frey and Frey worship?

Take your pick. Adam of Bremen says Thor was the most honoured god in the temple. The local kings were descended from Frey and the level of human sacrifice suggests the worship of Odin.
Polythesism, wonderful stuff

Look forward to seeing your Thor later.
