where do I begin? [more to come..]

the view from my hostel the first 2 nights of my trip... this was on board the af chapman, an old tall ship converted into a hostel

a Swedish mailman bike ! ! ! (ie: future career goal)

my Russian friend, Marit... he was staying in the same room in the 6 person room I stayed in on ze ship

a part of Stockholm I have to look at a map to tell you

these cute 'pockets' of older homes in Stockholm are scattered absolutely everywhere! this particular charming bunch we found on Södermalm, the southern island (definitely my favorite part of Stockholm)

Marit and I seeked out candy stores together... I was happy to find a friend who loved sweets ! below is  a photo of some egg yolk shaped candies that were very popular... salted licorice too bleh bleh 

part of Södermalm

the very FIRST photo of european bikes I had taken... countless more 

view of one harbor - Stockholm is made up of a bunch of different islands- - the ship on the left hand side near the top is my hostel (white with 3 masts)

EGGGGZZZZZZ these were small gummies, but later in Copenhagen I found one as big as my HAND.

Galma Stan - the old part of town

one of the highlights of my trip - meeting Berit in Oslo, and then later when I returned to Stockholm I stayed with her in her apartment. when I replied 'yes' to tea, i walked into the kitchen and this is what she had prepared! 

Berit, on our picnic in the city

Farty fart everywhere. this word can mean either 'speed'... 'bump'.. and.. fart. 

my room in Berit's flat! at the end of my trip, 'twas lovely to have a comfortable bed in a room of my own.what a gal she was
