Happy Graduation Jeanine. You are now a Master. We flew to Stockholm this morning(7am flight that we were at the airport by 5:15). The Stockholm airport is about 40 kilometers from downtown and we drove through lots of beautiful forested land to get to our hotel. Once we settled in to our hotel, we strolled around, ended up at Stortorget Square and had lunch at an Italian café. We then spent a couple of hours in the Nobel Museum. This is dedicated to the winners of the Nobel prizes since inception in 1901. There is currently a large exhibit to Albert Einstein in his early years, which included photos of his time in Bern, Switzerland. It was fun to see pictures of the Bern clock so close to us just being there. The museum was really interesting with films about some of the winners and their creativity, along with summaries of each decade's award winners. We then found Stampen, the live Jazz and Blues club in Stockholm. The music was good but there were no chairs to sit inside. We sat outside in the sun but as the weather is still cool, we did not stay long even though the music was good. We had a light dinner at the hotel and off to snooze land after an early morning wake up to get to the airport.
