Greetings from Stockholm!
It's been five days since I arrived in Stockholm, and I wanted to update you on some of my favorite parts so far. On the first full day in Stockholm, Jon and I went on an excursion to see the Old City. Stockholm is made of like 14 different islands, the oldest of which they call the "Old City" (creative right?). Sweden is one of only a handful of countries that were neutral in WWII, so the Old City is very well preserved. While walking through the streets, we found this really small coffee shop near the Noble Museum. The waiters were really awesome and the coffee was awesome. In the following picture, the coffee shop is in the orange-melonish colored building.

Here I am with my mochaccino bianco...writing in my journal and trying to fit in.

Jon's tea and dostovesky book, my coffee and journal...

Jeff and Michael are our Point sponsor's for this summer. They L-O-V-E the Ballet, especially Swan Lake, so when they found out the Swedish Ballet was performing its 600 show of Swan Lake, they had to get tickets. The ballet was at the opera house "Operan."

"Svansjon" ie Swan Lake

Jon and I at the ballet.

This was during the first of FOUR intermissions. A little bit excessive. So it's 8:30 pm and it looks like its mid-day...right. That's how crazy the time is here.

10:45 pm, walking home from the ballet.

Last night we went to the IceBar with Jon, Jeff, Michael, and Bev (Michael and Jeff's friend). The bar is sooooo cool. They basically create a bar completely out of ice. Every month they take a day and melt down the bar and recreate it. It's sponsored by Absolut so they serve mixed drinks in the bar. You can only stay in for 45 minutes, becacuse its sooo cold in there.

Yeah, we had to wear parka's, because my huge coat wasn't enough lol
The group...Michael, Jeff, Me, Jon, and Biv (Richard...long story).

Hej Doh
