Not as many bicycles as Amsterdam but still a lot of dedicated bike lanes

Boats and ferries and gorgeous blue skies

I think that's a seadragon with stag horns? (Also, the white specks? That's how hard it was raining😳

Pickled herring--I'll leave that for Donny

And the requisite Swedish Meatballs w/ lignonberries and baby potatoes. The gravy made it!

Handsome Man Holding Wine in a Tiny Tunnel

Never figured out what this was supposed to mean...beware of walking w/ the children?

Outdoor pram parking! They really DO leave their babies outside cafes, etc. (💯 genius btw)

Royal Swedish Cavalry Band--yes, the whole band plays along the route to the palace...promise. 🫤

Stockholm

Aug 20–22 in Sweden ⋅ ☁️ 61 °F

Stockholm is absolutely gorgeous. I mean, really, REALLY stunning. From the sunshine-y, bluebird day reflecting off the surrounding water on our first morning, to the soothing pastel shaded buildings (does the whole city color coordinate?!), to the mounted marching band winding through the city for the changing of the guard… we were enchanted. Even when the heavens absolutely opened and poured a deluge into the city, we popped into in a charming little gallery and ended up taking home a few owls.

Just a quick trip this time…will definitely return to ride some ferries to the outer islands and play some golf. Late evening tee time anyone?Read more
