My initial visit to Stockholm was a six hour inventory check. I was just looking around to see what was there. I really didn't go inside most of the buildings I saw. I guess you could say that I saw everything and nothing at the same time.

 

To the untrained eye I seem like a psychopath. I mean, who walks around for six hours and doesn't go inside? But in all honesty the first trip was a chance to create a mental blueprint of the city.

 

This time, with Sue Moynihan in tow, we visited the National Museum, the Asian Museum, the Culture House and the Modern Museum of Art (my personal favorite). All in all, I'd say we saw a heck of a lot today, inside and out.

 

Please Note: You can't take pictures in a Museum, so there are only so many shots that I can show you of our day.

 

1. Standing in the museum gift shop of the Modern Museum of Art arguing whether or not Sue purchasing a poster could be considered true grown up art. We concluded that if you frame it then you can call it actual art.

 

2. Sue running in the middle of a busy intersection to take a picture of a patch of tulips. And I quote: Because their color made them potential candidates for photographic kitchen art.

 

3.  An Art Exhibit entitled, "Be Original or Die." Before we even went in I was sold. How could you lose with a title like that? Brilliant, just brilliant.

 

4. Sue's quest to take a picture of an old Swedish woman on a bike. Required minimum age: 75 years. Reason: still unknown.

 

She almost had a heart attack trying to whip out the camera fast enough when a fluff of white hair on a bicycle happened to streak by in the distance.

 

Really Sue, there's no hurry. Old people are everywhere, and yes many of them are on bikes too.

 

5. The soccer photography display in the center of the park: One of the photos was a man's feet. Every single toenail was discolored, there were bumps on his feet and his toes were crooked. The title of the photograph: "Talent".
