More Sweden...

I went on another boat tour today. This one was a bit longer and went up a local river. The views weren't particularly interesting - this city is both very stylish and very industrial - and we saw a lot of the industrial side today. But it was still a great way to get around the city to learn more about it. And on such a warm, sunny day it was a great place to hang out.
Flowerboxes bursting with color is one of my favorite sights at this time of year:

One of the countless bridges we went under on the river tours:
After a lot of sightseeing it was nice to join all the crowds out relaxing in the park on a warm Sunday afternoon.
Normally I wouldn't post a picture of my hotel room, but the design of this one is so typically Swedish that I had to include it.

I'm staying at the Radisson. It has an excellent location right downtown. And a fabulous continental breakfast complete with pickled herring, smoked salmon, and a huge assortment of cheeses plus tons of other yummy stuff. I still haven't had any Swedish meatballs. I'm leaving early Tuesday morning, so if I don't get them tomorrow it looks like it won't happen this trip (and, truth be told, that would be just fine with me!)
