Stadshuset

I'll give my camera this one, this is actually not a bad picture [I think], but otherwise, I can't take pitures at night 'cause they're all total crap. See a few pictures before this if you're confused.

Hey,
Hey, What a great blog. But it sure looked cold. If I ever went I think spring or summer would be the time. You should be starting a book for other exchange students.....all the ins and outs of how to see countries and especially how to get seats on planes...........Love ya Nanny

It sounds like you had a great time.....to bad you missed the Herring and the Moose for dinner. Sweden is a nice country to visit. Perhaps you should visit in summer as they really have one.
