Last Day in Stockholm

Sadly, today is our last day in Stockholm. This morning, we got up a little early to get some photos of Galma Stan without tons of tourists around and also the morning light. I think I got some great shots and I thought it was really nice of Dave to be willing to do this with me. Of course the sun doesn't rise until 7:30, so its not crazy early. Then we took a ferry to the island of Vaxholm to see that area. It was really pretty. We wandered for a bit then headed back to the city. Then we ate our last meal of swedish Meatballs...they are sooooooo good! Had a beer and shopped for a christmas ornament. We have a traditon that when we travel we try to buy christmas ornamnets. So far we have one from Norway and one from Sweden. Hopefully we can collect the other countries as well.

I think it's funny that people keep saying to us...why pick October to come to scandanavia. Well...we live in a climate that reaches into the 100s in the summer, so we actually like to go to cold weather. And 50s is actually really nice. With the exception of about 1 day, we have had excellent weather too. And it looks like there is no rain in our forecast! I'm rather excited about that.

Tonight we are going to see a hockey game. Then tomorrow morning we head to the airport again.
