Oh, did we have a wonderful lunch in Stockholm! It was also one of our favorite cities on the tour. This restaurant opened in 1775, before the US was even a country! We had sandwiches, but most importantly, we had pastries!! They were even better than they look, and they look pretty awesome :)
The kids in the city center. It is a gorgeous city built on 24 (I think that's the number!) islands. We took a boat tour while we were there, plus its the easiest was to get around to all the islands. It was a one hour bus ride from the dock to Stockholm so we all had naps on the way to and from the city!
The ship, Vasa, sunk in 1628 in Stockholm's harbor on her maiden voyage. Not found until 1956! The ship and museum are just awesome. This is the back of the ship, it reminded us of the Black Pearl from Pirates of the Caribbean. If you want more info, ask Rolf when we get home, you know he had to buy a book on it!
Stockholm is just a gorgeous city! We all loved it and wished we could have spent another day or two . . . or three or four! Someday maybe we'll go back.

We'll also be spending 2 days in Stockholm. I enjoyed seeing your photos and reading your comments. Do you happen to remember the name of that restaurant? Thanks! (My email address is drleeds at sbcglobal dot net if you do...or if you have any other tips! We are visiting France/Paris for about 8 days then going to Helsinki, Tallinn & Stockholm)
