Nancy and I are headed back to WI tomorrow. We've had some great adventures in Sweden- we went for a boat tour of some of the Archipelago today, we went to the Vasa Museum ( which had a complete Swedish warship from the 1620s!), Skansen (open air museum w bears, wolverines, moose, lynx, foxes, etc), and I've eaten a moose burger, Swedish meatballs, artichoke soup, pancakes w cloudberries, lingonberry sauce, and goulash with dill pickles and sour cream (fantastic combination!), and a tiny bite of herring (ug). I also drank a shot of Swedish snaps (not like schnapps at all). Great shopping! We walked the medieval part of the city every day-Gamla Stan- and made it to 3 other islands. It is beautiful here, and almost everyone speaks English so we had no trouble communicating with people. Nancy is very friendly, so we met lots of nice Swedes (and one opera troll, who I'll tell you about later).
Pictures, and our Top Ten Best and Worst lists coming up in the next few days!!!!
