Stockholm!

There is no better way to end a trip to Sweden than with shopping. Not only did I get to see Stockholm, Sweden’s capital, up close with my very own Swedish tour guide, I also bought a dress for my sister’s wedding! That was preoccupying my worries, phew.

            We arrived in Stockholm early morning and spent the entire day out and about, walking around the city, in and out of stores, and of course to see the Castle and the old Swedish town. To my surprise, there really was an H&M on almost every corner. And boy was it cold! No matter, it was an awesome day!

            I imagine that Stockholm is what New York City might look like. Except, without the Castle where the king and queen live. But, all the buildings and windows, and all the stores, it was so much fun! I got to see the guards standing outside the Castle, and even got a few pictures before my camera died.

            The old town was what Sweden was like hundreds of years ago. It’s funny because the really old houses are expensive, and the new modern houses are expensive, too. It must be hard to find cheaper houses built in the right time zone.

            I also had McDonalds for lunch. I felt so American, which is a shame. But it was good. Too bad they don’t have a Bojangles, or a cookout, or a Cosmic!!

            We ended the day cold, tired, with a few bags in our hands, happy, a little hungry, but ready to be home. It was awesome! I am so glad that I went with Anna, it wouldn’t have been as fun or as much of a cultural experience without her. Yay! Now I can say I have been to Stockholm. Where I will end up next? Oh yeah! Spain, here I come J
