Stockholm In All Its Beauty: Part Two.doc

As promised, part two of three detailing my Stockholm adventures. These pictures give you some idea of the type of spots we were able to visit in the 48 hours spent in the city. As you can see, snow blanketed the landscape, water surrounds just about everything, and yes, they are fond of their 7/11 just as much as we are.

View from the National Theatre
Sweden: The Home of H&M
Gamla Stan (Old Town)
Christmas Market (it was snowing)
Another shot of the Christmas Market
The Vassa Museum (a 17th century boat)
Winter Wonderland
Marching Towards the Royal Palace
Typical Building in the Background Shot
Still Water
Hostel Shot
Patricia (the boat bar)
Graffiti (I just really like this one)

Gröna Lund (Festive to the Max)
That's right...

I hope this gives you some idea how picturesque the setting is in Stockholm. I took 300 photos - sixty of which are on facebook and fifteen of which are on here. As you can tell, this just scratches the surface.

Doc's Prescription of the Day: If you take 300 photos, you're bound to settle on 80 that are good, 40 that are great, 10 that are stunning, and 1 that has that indelible something which makes it the favourite.

Wow... just hearing that not only is Sweden home to IKEA, but H&M is too makes me want to go more than ever... a friend of mine is actually from Sweden (and, to your sterotype comment, is brown haired, brown eyed, and Jewish), and my bf visited him last summer and had the time of his life... he agrees with you that it is one hell of a place... I'm so glad you got to go!

(p.s. I just re-found the link to your blog again, and though I do not post all the time, note that I read every one!)
