Sandhamn

Hi and Happy Father's Day.  It is as nice day here in Stockholm.  I am treating myself today.  I slept in, had an omelet for breakfast. Sushi for lunch and making myself shrimp risotto for dinner...  It isn't all about the food but it is good.  I also went on a nice walk and am enjoying the occasional rain shower as I look out my window onto the river and Kungsholmen.

Yesterday I did a day trip to Sandhamn.  It is one of the further out islands of the Archipelago.  There are a couple of nice housing areas, a few shops, restaurants, a hotel and a few miles of hiking trails.  It was a beautiful day and I spent most of it hiking around.  Then enjoyed a live band on the docks after an expensive (but good) lunch.  

Here are a few pictures.

Food Festival on Swedish Nationals Day

This is at a park very close to our apartment.  There is normally a fountain in the middle but they drain it for big events.  Good music and food.  And an amazing day.  Everyone talks about the weather when it is nice which is a bit concerning.

I must confess that this is just a test from the iPhone app
