Stockholm

The second weekend my parents were here, we went to visit some friends in Stockholm. We thought Copenhagen was cold until we arrived in Stockholm. The coldest we experienced there was -20C which is -9F. In spite of the bitter cold, we tried to do as much sight seeing as we could.

Look at how long my shadow is at noon

Smile, its below 0F

The Vasa Museum
This is a museum that houses a ship that sunk on its maiden voyage.

  1. woah. even though your body might not think so - battling the cold was worth it. these pictures are so pretty. different than any winter scene I've seen before. who is it that you knew is Stockholm? Another country down! it's around 80F here while most of the rest of the country gets blasted by snow.
