Some Swedish Basics

Yesterday we took a nice long walk along the edge of Sodermalm.  Boat creepin as we went, til a dirt trail where people were strollin/running/biking as well.  The trees would have either fallen into the river or been split somehow, and continue to grow out of the water.  Marsh-like.  There, Fernando told me a sad sad story of his bike getting stolen because he wanted to test Stockholm's kindness.  After 4 days with no chain it disappeared into oblivion. I smacked him upside the head. "YOU DIDN'T FUCKING CHAIN IT?!" Well... now I gotta admit I JUST noticed that half the bikes I have drooled over so far in fact don't have chains.. woops. But still. 

Vacation homes

Lil reggae cafe set up

Passages to an underground city...? hehehe

Our view - on some rocks - where we decided to drink our boxed wine

The park just behind us across the path

Max - the Swedish equivalant of McDonalds :P had to, and it actually was very good. AND came with cucumbers 

Following some gypsies

Old Town

The walk home

Ran into some gents who gave us this (literally ran into)... complete with chocolate flavored papers as well. How nice right? 5g for 600kr, you can go ahead and convert that... not to self incriminate ourselves, just sayin... Swed dealers are quite nice... and very smooth

Mmm

Tubed cheese with shrimp 

Swedish bread with said-cheesey-shrimp spread

Monki, one of my favorite magazine's retail stores.  Found it by chance, and I was in heaven.

Mangle Vintage

The nicest girl worked here. Chatted a bit til some small explosions went off from the large parade of people coming down the street chanting - there was a big game vs a team from S. Sweden beginning in a couple hours.  The polis were going to have their hands full later that night.

Leftovers for dinner

Early morning

Some Skansen history of old Sweden

Traditional Sammy: cold meatball on bread with radish pickle and lettuce

More grassy dwellings

LYNX!!

When in Skansen...I ate some moose 

Some more important things I learned other than traditional eats, snacks, weed prices, and bike etiquette was of course, some basic words for my sorry ass:

Thank you = Tack-so-mycket (tax-so-mee-ket)

Sorry = ursäkta (uur-sheck-ta) as in, sorry I suck and can't speak Swedish

Welp, that's all for now!
