Happy Birthday to Anna LaRock 10 on the 21st!
We took a tour of the highlights of Stockholm and they were something else. This is a magnificent city.
A ship sank in 1628 in the harbor and stayed there for 333 years when it was found and brought up in 13,000 pieces in 1961!! It is an awesome vessel and would shock anyone that walked into that museum to see it. The city vistas were not as clear as they could have been as it was overcast and actually started raining right when our tour ended. Stockholm is built on 4 islands and has 54 bridges. The islands that are all around are just beautiful, so clean and crisp. It actually looks more like a lake than a sea town.

What an enjoyable blog! I like your comment about Stockholm looking more like a lake town than a sea town. I suppose it's a little of both. The novelist Selma Lagerlof (the first female writer to win the Nobel Prize in Literature) once referred to Stockholm as “the city that floats on water.” - Ralph Grizzle, www.cruisingfromstockholm.com
