Today was an easier day. We took the bus to Sodermalm which is the adjacent island and visited the Stockholm City Museum. There were several very good displays about life in Stockholm over the years . It also pointed out that it is a city with many charms but has also wrestled with many of the problems which large cities have dealt with over the years. There was also an excellent display of how the architecture has changed over the years.

The emigration exhibit focused primarily on Swedes who went to the US although many went to the Canadian Prairies as well. There are several towns in the US called Stockholm.

One display was The Millenium - a behind the scenes look at the actors in the film. Stieg Larsson is the author of the book and we went past the bar/restaurant where he often goes but it was closed at the time.

We wandered through Sodermalm and took the free ferry back to the island we are staying at. We stopped for a beer at the waterfront bar in the picture.

Tomorrow is family reunion day in Jonkoping. Should be fun!
