Well hey! In most recent news I took a roadtrip to Stockholm. Why? No reason, really. I got invited. And then I found myself in a car, looking at signs such as this one:
Shoot. 515 kilometers huh? Minorly depressing, but hey. We had music and a Toblerone bar bigger than a small child. So it was all good for a while.
Finally, we made it to the border! It was anticlimactic. No customs or anything. But these sweet signs were there at least!
No trip to a Scandinavian capital is complete without pictures of colorful houses by the water, even if the weather is bad.
Norwegian friend Bibbi and new Swedish friend Christian, on one of our many shopping adventures. Stockholm is, apparently, known for its shopping.
Exploring Gamle Stan: the Old City.
Same. I like how that bike-reflector went all crazy.
Bibbi and me by a lake! Yay roadtrips!
It was a great trip, and many adventures ensued. Some things I noticed:
-Burger King/McDonalds. A TON in Sweden. More than in Norway for sure.
-Construction. In Copenhagen, too, lots of the older parts of town were under construction. My conclusion, I think, is that when all the tourists go home, they break out the scaffolding. Kind of annoying as far as my photography skills go, however.
-Meat 'n potatoes. In both Copenhagen and Stockholm the best meal seems to involve a meaty stew of some sort with boiled potatoes. I am not complaining. Delicious. Actually, in Stockholm we ate a lot of rice too. Go figure. Oh, and actually, our potatoes were oven-baked. Hmm. Never mind.
-Awesomeness. Both Copenhagen and Stockholm seemed to be awesome. Well then.
OK the end for now!!!1 I promise to be better at updating...one of these days!!
