Stockholm Sweden beautiful in and out


We arrived in Sweden on Saturday morning. It doesn't take long to get a sense that it will be different in Stockholm. The train from the port is clean and smooth. We befriend a fella from Mexico who is wearing a University of Maryland t-Shirt. He is well traveled and gives us some advice for our trip to Israel in October. He is a great help as we didn't know we had to change trains to get to Stockholm city center. The kids are doing great job moving from city to city and country to country. Many folks enjoy seeing "Pearse the trooper" with his backpack, 2 water bottles on each side and his rolling suitcase. He muscles the suitcase up and down train platform and subway platform like a real seasoned pro! We manage our days pretty well, planning for the museums and the "must do's". One never knows when Stockholm will be on the list for travel again. "Old Town" is a delight and we still get a kick out of the fact that there is a 7-Eleven in "Old Town" and we also mange to have ice cream at the Ben and Jerry's. Eamon photographs some 45+ Classic cars which makes his day and gives him more than a few selections for the "wallpaper" on his "I-touch". We took a nice run along the ocean and realized that Sweden is a very "fit" nation. Folks were running by like we were standing still. The temp is exquisite for us that hate the heat and summer in Sweden has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? We heard it was hot in Phila., PA and Wilm., Delaware so on your behalf we visited the Ice Bar. I'm Mr. Cold Miser I'm Mister Fun.....
