swedish daycare

went with emi and vanja to pick up her two little kids, niki and joel from daycare! cute-attack!

pretty candy store on karlavägen

dinner at lydmar

that's emi's left arm

 

they had a band on a crane outside

anders' icelandic beer!

lunch with tim!

my friend tim is in town with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra and randomly (well, i saw his update on facebook and contacted him) we got to meet for lunch!  we were at Taos together more than ten years ago!! 

random signage: i think it's for the christian democratic party

we had bimbimbop.  not so good, this place:

if you're craving bimbimbop in Stockholm, i would go to Arirang, which i saw near my hotel.  i've heard good things about that place.  i took a picture last nite.

my walk this morning

look who i saw:

isn't that amazing, how close you get to the animals at djurgården!

my pictures came out dark but it really wasn't this dark out

some kind of regal parade; playing instruments on horses must be tricky

sun!

finally came out around 7:30pm!

i went to the market,

saw mayo in a tube...

...that comes in like 5 flavors!

is it curry-flavored?

and this i bought to bring home:

window shopping

i have no room in my suitcase so i must stick to window shopping only.

fotografiska museet

it took me 3 tries, but i finally got to the photography museum.  i have maybe one picture from inside the actual museum, because ironically you are not allowed to take any photographs in the photography museum. 

as you can see, even though it's about 6pm, it's still very light out and beautiful

(the museum is open until 9pm)

gift shop

most of the pictures are so famous, so iconic they're already familiar to everyone, but there were also quite a lot of personal pictures, of her family---her parents, her three little children, susan sontag.

stockholm: LIVE!!

ok, well, it's about an hour ago--but that's pretty LIVE, ain't it
G O R G E O U S !

this is at the slussen terminal.  i took the bus the wrong way trying to get to the photography museum, but who cares! 

last nite

around 7:30pm

ketchup and mustard udders

stadshusbron

still obsessed with getting a good picture of city hall

a little crooked, but close up

södermalm tour-- part IV

the last part!  where national geographic directs you to "aim for the big black thing sticking out of a building with a sign reading 'GONDOLEN'"...

i took the elevator up and took these pictures:

view from the cafe at mosebacke terrace--the lady right next to me tapped me on the shoulder to show me her camera--same as mine!  hot pink sony cyber-shot
