Stockholm

Day 1 - Lisa's blog entry

Once recovering from the lengthy plane ride we have been out and about on the town. What a beautiful city Stockholm is! I think I could live here.  We decided to walk and see what we could discover. 
Flying over Stockholm. The scenery is amazing. 

Riding the train into Stockholm. The buildings have such a deep history. The city's history is amazing. 
Our first walk out. We went across the river to  gamla Stan. It's the island that has the royal palace and the old cobblestone roads. We have found buildings dating back to the 1600's. 
Some of the fabulous architecture. 


We stumbled upon the beautiful church near our hotel. The architecture blew me away. The stained glass and the painted murals. I could have looked at it for hours. Here are more pictures of it. 





Look at those organ pipes!

Here's the view from our hotel room. Magnificent. 

I made the boys stand in front of the palace guard. 

This lion was cute and looked worried :)

Fun street art. 




Tiny alley. 


We are having so much fun and cat wait for tomorrow!
