3. Unfortunately I doubt it
but I continue to keep my eyes and ears open for any chance to go. Anytime a possible trip to Europe comes up it will be Sweden I would try to get to the most.

8. Hey GoP
:hi: :loveya: :hug:

It is a fascinating city with a lot to explore. I only was there for two days and didn't really see that much. Just the inner city. Stockholm is worth a trip for sure.

You captured the city very well,
and I miss it like crazy

You're right- It's a not to miss city, alright.

Thanks so much.

15. No not at all

21. I was on the top of a tower of the "Stathuset"
Townhall




We stayed two days in Stockholm, then went to Gotland for two days and the rest of the vacation we were in Southern Sweden in a cabin. You can see all my pics in my journal.

16. Thanks!
I'd love to go there someday. It's always nice to see pics of places I haven't visited. I studied a little about Sweden in Geography (in school). Interesting place. I admire the way they left a greenbelt around the city & their public transportation. The U.S. could learn a lot from them!

22. Stockholm is visually stunning
I've been there a few times, and speak the language well.
If the weather cooperates, it's one of those cities where
you really just need to put on your walking shoes, a sweater,
and just head off. The little restaurants and cafés of the
Gamla Stan....ah what memories!

Om jag bara hade tid för att åka til Sverige en gång til........

from Germany. It took me two hours from Frankfurt.
