soggy stockholm evening

I have finally landed at the Prinsen restaurant for dinner after 5+ hours of touring Stockholm by foot. I did try the metro but was rebuffed by a strange ticket selling machine and a seriously glazed over look from the guy @ the counter. Ah well.

The shot below is of an open air ice-skating rink nearby the restaurant. It has an impressive, old statue in the middle. If you look closely you'll see a little girl in a red jacket checking out her skates on wobbly legs.

welcome to stockholm

So the little guy below is pretty popular on the main drag with lotsa little ones hopping on his back while parents look around @ shopping options nearby.

Spent the day here 1st replacing the clothes in my luggage i was going to wear tomorrow. Ah well... After that chk'd out the old town (gamlan stad) as well as some other things, like the lift in Slussen. I love Scandanavian design so may of the shops make me wish i would have packed a 2nd bag (that wouldn't have been lost!)

Stopped outside my nyc hotel the evening b4 Johnny Mac's big super tuesday. Never saw him or his crew. It was was around 10:30 so I'm imagining he was already tucked into bed given that his age (hey I would be too).
