Stockholm, Sweden

We've been exploring Norway for the past few days, and will post the updates soon, but in the meantime, here are a few more pictures from our adventures in Sweden!

Stockholm Harbor

We saw various maypoles in the villages, but the finest was at the Stockholm island of Skansen. Skansen is the oldest living history site in the world.

As we watched the changing of the guard, Wava and Diane made friends with a mother who's son had the honor of serving in this platoon.She was so proud. The crowd was domestic and international!!

We are here at the height of the spring flowers. These lupin (although they pronounce it lu-pine) are my absolute favorite. The farms in the background are characteristic of all of the farms in the Haslingland province.

The wildflowers and perennials are vibrant! (my prize poppy picture, enjoy!)
