Swedish Fish

Easter weekend in Stockholm was non-stop, bar-hopping. It seemed that when we asked the locals what to do, they pointed to a cocktail and said you're looking at it. We did tour around the city and get to see some great buildings and cute areas. Friday the sun was out, so we went and had a late lunch at an outdoor bar, sun shining, sunglasses on, and suddenly things started falling around us. We covered our beer, then we realized it was snow, we ended up staying outside a little longer, wrapping ourselves in blankets. That was the strange thing, all the bars with outdoor space had blankets to keep everyone warm. Stockholm is beautiful though, I thought. All these small towns separated by water, small bridges connecting each one to the next. Obviously an old Viking town, which showed in the decorations on the buildings, the statues, the bridges, it was really cool. We walked by city hall and it was an amazing setting, right on the water, steps that led right down to it, no barriers, just beautiful. We ventured to Ice Bar on Sunday, it's made completely of ice, the bar, the couch, the cocktail tables, the walls, even the glasses you drink out of, all ice. You get 45 minutes in there, they give you these parkas, with furred hoods and heavy gloves. It actually didn't seem too cold, but by the end my toes and fingers were forzen (from holding my ice glass of course). It was fun though, the pictures turned out great, and it was a cool thing to be a part of for a brief period of time! All in all, I would venture back to Sweden, although in the summer months!

And...Happy birthday Tina!
