My work has taken me to beautiful Stockholm, Sweden for a few weeks. I am joined by my multi-cultural deployment team. Pictured from left Matt (UK), Dennis (China) and Ivan (Italy).Most of the city hotels were booked due to conventions, so we ended up at a small artist's retreat toward the south end of the city called Maude's Hotel in Enskede.
I also am excited that my niece Claire has decided to skip school and get international experience. Given that my days are not my own due to work, Claire ventures out on her own on the T-Bana (subway) to explore the city. I am not sure I would have been that adventurous at 16!
Over the weekend, we explored the Queen's Garden which has a public skating rink.
We ventured to Vasamuseet (The Vasa Museum) which had a recovered ship from 1628. The ship was delivered ahead of schedule in 2.5 years (usually ships this large took 4-5 years). They obviously cut out QA, because the ship sunk only 20 minutes into its maiden voyage due to being top heavy.
We decided to try the Stockholm Ice Bar (yes, it is made entirely of ice). You needed to wear a special overcoat so that you did not melt your seat. Even the glasses are pure ice. Note to my brother Greg: Claire was only drinking Ligonberry Juice (I swear!)
I took a picture of the beautiful Swedish Opera House for my dad-in-law.
