Stockholm

We are Stockholm bound!

After a short flight, bus, and train ride, we arrived in Stockholm's City where we met my friend Lena. We were in the same class for 5 years, so it was a treat to meet up with another dear old friend.

We took the ferry over to Djurgården where we went to the Vasa Museum.

It sure was amazing learning about this ship's history. Collier was fascinated and followed the guide around listening intently.

A walk over to Gamla Stan

And a bite to eat. Lena and I are eating a very popular Swedish fastfood...hotdog with mashed potatoes wrapped inside a piece of thin bread. It was yummy and very filling!

Stockholms Slott (official residence of the King and Queen...although they do live at Drottningholms Slott)

Sveriges Riksdag...Sweden's Parliament

Stor Kyrkan...this is the church next to the castle. The Crown Princess Victoria got married in this church last month.

Other than IKEA, Hennes & Mauritz AKA H&M is my favorite Swedish store.

Heading down to the tunnelbana (subway)...we met up with Lena's son Axel.

Then we took a train and bus to Lena's house.

Collier had to take a picture of this train he saw at Stockholms Central
