I Could Live Here

(Dana) For 3 years my sister and her family have lived in Stockholm. Now I get why. Even Greg said, “I could live here.” Granted, the sun was out for 19 hours/day and it was closer to 30-degrees C than the 3 degree darkness of January, but for us, it ís about the water. Stockholm is one of a surprisingly few world capitals situated right on the water. So other than our outing to view the World Cup finals at an Irish pub, our adventures were all marine-based. We went to the beach and jumped into the brisk water. We checked out the 350+ year-old Vasa warship that was recovered from the Stockholm Harbor. We took a ferry to one of the 30,000 islands of the outer archipelago and lost Emma’s flip flop in a clay sinkhole. And Captain Dave hosted a city tour by boat including a trip back and forth through locks. What a gorgeous place. Plus they have herring.
