This was around a month ago, so the details are not so strong, but to give an idea: Stockholm is a truly majestic city - very modern in its modern sector and very quaint and charming in its hisorical center. It is on 5 (or so) islands, connected by bridges and seperated by frigid (but also, almost, inviting) water. The Swedish people are among the nicest one can find (and among the most beautiful). A visit to Stockholm can be little but warm, even when there's only one day at the maximum (in our case) and sleeping in two different airports - (us again). One of the cooler things I have ever seen was the vodka ice bar in Stockholm. In order to enter one must don a protective coat (twice as thick as any other I have seen) and make sure not to stay longer than 45 minutes in this room made of only ice (a bar of ice and cups of ice as well).

Sorry for the delay
I am in Prague, spending my last days of travel while in Europe. I apologize for the lack of updates, but I have survived a marthon of travel. In the last month I have been to Stockholm, Rome (3 times), Lisbon, Barcelona, Amsterdam and now Prague. Of all of these, I may have found Prague to be the best, but I cannot possibly choose. I want to talk about all the places I've been, to give a full sense of each impact on me. But first, Stockholm.

Wow! The stuff Grandpa and I only dream about!! Careful, Uncle Buck and Aunt Cez will have to start traveling again or you will outdo them. Cannot contain myself until I can hear and/or read the rest. Did you know my Great Grandfather on my Mom's side came from Norway when he was 15 years old. He came on a boat to make his fortune in America and ended up owning his own freight company. Back when the vehicles were wooden wagons powered by teams of horses. Will you make Oslo? Much love, Grandma Sherry
