Under onsdagen forra veckan besokte Jim och jag Vasamuseet. Jag har aldrig varit dar (eller kanske som babis, men kommer inte ihag) sa det var roligt att fa se det. Otroligt hur mycket detaljer de hade pa ett skepp som sen sjonk.
Efter det gick vi till Nordiska Museet som ligger precis bredvid. Jim fick nu se alla svenska traditioner och alla de saker som jag alltid tjatar om sa som apelsin med nejlikor, fjadrar pa grenar och midsommarstang. 

On Wednesday last week, Jim and I visited The Vasa Museum. I have never been there (or maybe as a baby, but don’t remember it) so it was fun to see it. Incredible how much details they had on a ship that sank. 
After that we went to the Nordic Museum that is right next door. Jim now got to see all the Swedish traditions and all the things I’m always talking about like an orange with cloves, feathers on branches and midsummer maypole.

Nu har det varit lite tyst har ett tag. Internet kranglade ju pa hotellet ett tag och sen kom mina foraldrar till Stockholm och vi har varit upptagna. Sa blir det ibland. Nu sitter jag iaf pa taget till vastkusten. Jim har akt tillbaka hem till NY och jag ska spendera tva veckor till i Sverige.
Vi har haft riktigt avkopplande dagar. Under de sista dagarna blev det inte sa mycket turistande. Det var mysigt att bara ga runt eller sitta ner och dricka kaffe och ta in allt som hander i Stockholm. En veckas semester dar var lagom. Aven om det ar Sveriges basta stad och min forra hemort i 6 ars tid, sa maste jag saga att jag nu efter en vecka vart lite trott pa stan och jag ar redo for nagot annat.

It’s been quite here for some days. Internet was bad at the hotel for a while and then my parents came to Stockholm and we have been busy. That’s how it is sometimes. Anyway, now I’m on the train to the west coast. Jim went back home to NY and I will spend two more weeks in Sweden. 
We’ve had really nice relaxing days. During the last couple of days we didn’t do much tourism. It was just cozy to walk around or sit down with coffee and take in what was going on in Stockholm. One week of vacation was enough there. Even if it’s Sweden’s best city and my previous hometown for 6 years, I still have to say that now after a week I’m a little tired of the city and I’m ready for something else.

Internet ar inte sa bra pa hotellet for tillfallet, sa det blir lite mindre uppdateringar tills det ar fixat. 
Idag kommer mina foraldrar till Stockholm. Wohoo! Vi sitter i hotellets lobby, dricker kaffe och vantar pa att de ska dyka upp. Solen skiner idag vilket ar trevligt. VI har redan gjort alla turistgrejer, sa nu blir det mer avkoppling pa trevliga cafeer och restauranger:)

The internet is not that great at the hotel right now, so it will be less updates until it’s fixed. 
Today my parents are coming to Stockholm. Wohoo! We are sitting in the hotel lobby, drinking coffee and waiting for them to show up. The sun is out today which is nice. We have already done all the tourist things, so now we will relax at nice cafes and restaurants:)

Vi myser pa hotellet framfor Nyhetsmorgon

Det ska bli annu kallare idag. Ahhh! Det galler att kla pa sig ordentligt innan vi ger oss ut pa aventyr. Vi har inte atit nagon kanelbulle an, sa det tycker jag att vi ska forsoka gora idag:) Det blir valdigt mycket sota saker nar man ar i Sverige, men eftersom vi inte ar har sa ofta maste man ju passa pa. 

It will be even colder today. Ahhh! Time to dress up with a lot of clothes before we go out on adventures. We have not had any cinnamon bun yet so that I think we will try to do today:) It’s a lot of sweet things when you are in Sweden, but because we’re not here very often it’s a must of course.

Oj oj vad kallt det har varit i Stockholm idag. Vi har ju inte direkt nagra ordentliga jackor med oss sa vi fryser (just nu vill jag ha min vinterjacka!). Vi promenerade in till city och at lunch pa John Chris (godaste pastasallad med kraftstjartar) pa Drottninggatan. Efter det besokte vi Dans Museet’s shop. Jag ville hitta lite svenska dansbocker, men det lilla utbud som fanns var mest amerikanska bocker. Kopte en bok iaf. 
Vi promenerade vidare till NK och kollade alla klader med den Amerikanska flaggan (ja, i Sverige gillar man visst trojor med USA flagga pa och Yankees kepsar). Satt en stund pa EsperssoHouse vid Stureplan dar Jim kunde kolla hur det gar pa jobbet. Letade sen upp ett stalle att ata middag pa och nu ar vi tillbaka pa hotellet.

Oh wow how cold it’s been in Stockholm today. We don’t really have any good jackets with us so we are freezing (right now I want my winter coat!). We walked in to the city and ate lunch at John Chris (best pasta salad with crayfish tails) on Drottninggata. After that we visited the Dance Museum shop. I wanted to find some Swedish Dance books, but the small collection had mostly american books. Bought one book at least. 
We continued walking to NK (a mall) and looked at all the clothes with the American flag on (yes, in Sweden they apparently like sweaters with USA flag and Yankees hats). Sat for a while at EspressoHouse by Stureplan were Jim could check up on work. Then we found a place to eat dinner and now we are back at the hotel.
