today we walked around downtown and looked into some shops. Stockholm has a lot of water with alot of islands. its really nice. had a great lunch. our apartment is close to an amusement park which is somewhat comical because every couple of minutes the screams come as the rollercoaster drops for its first build up of speed.

I've played my favorite X-Box game, Halo, every morning with Ethan and Connor and as usual got my butt whooped! Those two little buggers totally enjoy killing me over and over! Tomorrow I am off to Santa Rosa. [View Full Entry]
