Here are some pictures I took of my journey to Stockholm.

Upon my return I was asked more than once about what I saw on my trip to Stockholm.
 
"Did you visit the old town? The shopping distict? How bout the royal palace?"
 
To be honest, I don't know what I saw. If you see a picture of it, chance are I saw it and let's just leave it at that.

I was told the prime minster lives in the 2nd one.

The theatre in the middle of the city

After hours of sight-seeing on my own, I met Anna downtown for lunch. We went to a little shop that sold things like sandwhiches, sushi and assorted Lebonese platters.
 
Anna grabbed a sandwich from one of the freezers and then proceded to walk around the shop. When she was satisfied she walked right out of the store, sandwhich and all.
 
"Um Anna. Don't you have to pay or is everything free in Sweden?," I asked.
 
With the realization that she had just shoplifted, Anna jolted around and ran back into the store, blushing and highly embarassed about her blatant theft attempt.

The National Museum

"Ah you must go there," they tell me. So I can learn all about the Swedes. Jah!

Supposedly this is a famous statue

I just thought it looked cool.

I had been looking for the Palace all afternoon and when Anna No. 2 (that would be Fanta's Anna) asked me if I had seen it, I was like I don't think so, but maybe next time. What an idiot. I walked passed it several times and even took more than one picture of it thinking it was some sort of museum. Ah well, I can now say that I saw the royal palace.

Apparently this is the royal palace

To be honest, I thought it was a museum, but that's just between you and I.

When I got off the train and left Anna No.2 at her job, I just started walking. Who knows where I was going. I think I walked all the way to the edge of the city. Either way, when Anna saw my pictures she was like oh my god you went far. I seem to keep getting these same type of reactions. Apparently, I don't know when to turn around. Anyhow, this is one of the places I ended up.

I believe this is the Parliment Building.

But then again who knows it could be a fancy McDonalds.
