We spent yesterday visiting many attractions in Stockholm. The city is easy to get around in with a multitude of public transit options. However, once I begin to try to locate something, it is a different story. I have never been so turned around before trying to get from point a to point b. I think it is a combination of the many islands that make up this city and the fact that no 2 streets go parallel or perpendicular to each other. Usually, I can adapt to the latter. However, for whatever reason, this city is very confusing. Having said that, the city is beautiful and interesting. The people are amazing. Aside from being fluent in English making communication easy, they are willing to help you find your destination if you look lost. We had 3 different people stop and ask us, in English, if we needed help while studying the map at various times during the day. I told one Swedish man I thought the Swedes were nicer in Sweden than in Minnesota:). He thought that was pretty funny. Anyway, a beautiful, friendly place.
The weather goes like this. No rain yesterday and temperatures crawling above 10C which for us Americans is 50F. Nothing to write home about, so to speak. I am ready for some warm weather. I hadn't thought of Minnesota as a warm destination.
More pictures to come later. I cannot post them from here.
