The group had attempted to find a grocery store last night but were so sad about the ticket that they just went home.  Today, they continued their Swedish learning journey.  The grocery store gives out tokens to get a cart, you can get a scanner to self service scan as you go sort of like wedding registry.  (The group did not feel ready for these).  They were just excited to be in the store.  This grocery store was awesome.  It was the cleanest store ever.  They weren’t too sure what they were purchasing but enthusiastically shopped  and  pelted the staff with questions.   They got several  samples as it was easier to give samples than for the staff to explain.  They even purchased a big bag of frozen meatballs after receiving instructions on how to cook them.  (The vacation group was a big hit with the grocery staff. )  Guess what who had meatballs for lunch?

After lunch, it was time to learn how to navigate the train.  After successfully, making it to Old town Stockholm, the group took a self guided walking tour.  (There was some anxiety and a broken escalator with more than 100 steps but they got there).  Geographic Moment:  Stockholm is located on Sweden’s east coast, where the freshwater Lake Mälaren — Sweden’s third largest lake — flows out into the Baltic Sea. The central parts of the city consist of fourteen islands that are continuous with the Stockholm archipelago (chain of islands).  Who knew?  Who know what archipelago meant?

On the walk, they found the smallest public statue in Stockholm.  It is a little boy representing orphans that worked on the docks.  Grandmother’s knit caps for the statue.  There was also a statute of St. George fighting the dragon which was quite impressive.  So impressive that it sent the group off in the wrong direction.  They also watched the changing of the guard (lite – not the whole thing with horses and bands).   At the end of the day, they felt like they knew much more about Stockholm.

It is due to the veins check to find out more cheapest levitra carrying less blood to those parts. Phew!

  1. I’m so excited that you are keeping up with the blog! Was this a test on if I was actually reading it… And you have now learned I already failed at reading these in a timely matter! Glad y’all found the grocery store can’t have hangry travelers!

    1. I am impressed that I have hung in there so far. I appreciate the encouragement as I sometimes just want to nap.
