Stockholm

For the last two weeks, Renée and I have been in Stockholm, Sweden with Pierre and Sharon. For a more complete version of what we did, go to Sharon's blog, but here is a taste.

Day one
We arrived and explored the neighborhood and our apartment.



Day two
We went to Haga Parken, king Gustav III's favourite gardens and met some hungry carp.



Day three
We visited the Vasa, a ship that unfortunately sank thirty minutes after it left the harbor. It is also home to the ugliest cherubs on the planet.



Day four
We saw historic houses from all over Sweden at the village of Skansen (for example a temperance lodge).



Day five
We went to Drottningholm, the queen's palace and got to try on some of the costumes used in the plays preformed in the theatre.



Day six
We visited Sharon's parents and brother in Bro. And met this snail.



Day seven
We saw the city hall and went souvenir shopping in Gamla Stan, the old town.



Day eight
We had fun at Gröna Lund, the second biggest amusement park in Sweden! I was the only one who went on the free-fall and Pierre won two kilos of M&M's!



Day nine
We took a boat to the outer islands and swam in the cold Baltic sea.



Day ten
We went to the Nordiska museum and saw the same smurfs that are at Grandma Bider's house!



Day eleven
We departed for Toronto.
