Stockholm 8-21,22
		I am always looking at a town as if I might live there.  Well I found the one I would live in, it's Stockholm. My pictures won't do this place justice, and the locals say the weather is never this good. So for 8 months out of the year it's winter, well it's probably worth it.
		This is the panaroma shot from the bus.  Stockholm is made up of 14 islands and this one where a couple good museums are located. It's not the most desriptive shot, mostly due to the fact that sleeping on night trains with 5 other folks kind of screws up your artistic senses.  Nonetheless, Stockholm looks like this all around you and more than once I found myself confused as to which scenic view I was looking at.			Probably the most famous youth hostel in the world is on this boat.  It takes 6 months to get a 7 dollar bed. I stayed further in town
					City Hall, this is where they give out the Nobel Prize.  Kind of an Anna-Nicole Smith story here.  Nobel made his fortune after he invented dynamite.  When he died, he left this short will that says, keep my money in a bank and give award the interest to folks that did good for the world. Well, his lawyers and family argued and fought for the money.  After 3 years they finally created the Nobel Prizes.  This year the awards will be a little lower cause interest rates are down.
		This is one shot from Stockholm's Skansen open air museum. These museums are all over northern Europe.  The king used to bring in houses, farms, people, etc. onto his grounds and creating a little sim-city with real working people and houses.  This places are huge and good for kids.  Skansen is the first one opened to the public in the late 19th century.
					This is the old town of Stockholm, very quaint and walkable.  Check out the curve in the street.  The street used to be the old waterfront.  As the water receded, they filled in more land and created a new block.  Now the water laps up to the buildings on the right hand side.
		Another Stockholm view.  If you are into the tall, blond-haired, blue-eyed, outgoing, smart and fit (and that's just the guys)then this is your town.  I have this theory, since the winters are so long, when you pick your spouse here, you really need to make a good choice.  Imagine being snowed in for 8 months with someone who is boring, unattractive and hard to get a long with.  Well you can figure out where I am going, no protests please.
					No dirty, cramped cabs here, this is a taxi in Stockholm.
		Here in the old town is the smallest statue in Stockholm.  I put a Kroner there and made a wish.
