Our morning sightseeing trip includes the City Hall. The City Hall is amazing, right on the water and absolutely beautiful inside and out.
They give out the Nobel Prizes from here.
So beautiful, you have to see it to believe it.

This was the Royal Dramatic Theater.
We explored Old Town by ourselves, such a fun place with good things to eat and fun things to buy.
Earlier in the day at the Royal Palace I took this picture of students touring. They looked just like Americans I thought.
There was a fun marketplace where vendors were selling lots of different things near our hotel and we had fun talking to an American who had gone to Sweden to study and then married and stayed there. He made wooden toys and puzzles and I believe I bought some from him.
Denice and I really enjoyed walking all over Stockholm and going into the modern area as well as old town. In the downtown area so many of the young people were wearing red and black. Very noticeable. We also found there were candy stores on about every corner. No wonder I love candy, it is in my genes.

It was also in Stockholm when I finally let Denice know how frustrating it was when she positively said she knew something (for instance when people would ask how to get to a certain place) and then she was wrong. She was so eager to be of help but it is not help when we walk four blocks out of our way beccause she is so sure she knows the way. Other than that we got along just fine but I began to doubt her assurances and depended more on my own directions than to ask for her help.
We thought the most beautiful people we saw were in Stockholm (on the whole trip). Norway has beautiful scenery but Sweden has beautiful people.

One of the most interesting museums was the Vasa Museum on the island of Djurgarden in Stockholm. There is much to see but the main thing is the royal warship Vasa which was built in 1628 and sank on her maiden voyage. The Vasa was the most expensive and richly decorated naval vessel that Sweden had ever built. She was the King's pride.
In 1956 Andersw Franzen found the ship and began the salvage and restoration. It is one of the world's foremost sights and best preserved 17th-century ships. As of 1994 over fifteen million visitors from various countries had viewed it and the adventure is still in progress and being seen by millions more.
