The last few days have been spent wandering around Stockholm and discovering its sites of historic interest. It is our first visit to the city and we have both been impressed with what it has to offer visitors. While there is nothing on the scale of the monuments of Paris or London, it is "pleasant' in every way here: well laid out and very scenic with nice architecture fronting innumerable waterways. The people are friendly and the standard of living here is very high as are the prices. But in any case, it is great to explore this place with you as I never imagined I would have the chance to visit.
I almost forgot to mention the weather which has been outstanding. We have been enjoying sunshine almost every day along with blue skies so we are very lucky considering most of the year it is freezing cold and dark in these parts. During our visit, we have been to many museums and other places but so far my favourite experience was when this afternoon we took a leisurely walk through the local neighborhoods of Soderman and Hornstull where we have our charming flat and enjoyed people watching, window shopping and a delicious plate of organically sourced Swedish meatballs at a trendy little cafe with some flat bread and cider. That was great. Simple but thoroughly enjoyable. I will keep it in mind always when I think of being here and sharing these days with you.
