We spent the day today on one of Stockholm's 5 main islands called Djurgarden. It is a green space the city saved for its inhabitants to have some place to recreate. There are a couple of museums, one dedicated to Nordic lifestyle historically and then another to the 17th warship flop called Vasa. This massive, intricate warship was to be like no other. Indeed it was. It sunk after a whopping 20 minutes! It was resurrected from the bottom of the harbor in about 1960 and they built a museum to its futility around it. It really is quite interesting.
The Swedish people are fantastic and Stockholm is equally nice. Unfortunately, the weather is not great. In our entire 2 weeks to date, it has rarely exceeded 50 F and the only good thing is it doesn't rain all the time:(. From a weather perspective, I can't wait to get home. I didn't know Minnesota could look so warm.
Sorry, not able to upload pictures at this time. More tomorrow.
