Becky and Joel in Sweden 2014

Last day in Stockholm

The trip is coming to an end.  We had a leisurely breakfast at the hotel (the usual breakfast buffet, with a wonderful selection of breads, cheeses, fruits, meats, etc.), then checked out and took the T-Bahn to our hotel at the central station.  We were lucky, the rooms were ready for check-in, so we deposited our luggage and took off for the Nordiska Museum.  We got there before most, and spent a couple of hours looking at a collection of old photos, a display about Strindberg, an exhibit about the evolution of stripes in fashion and symbolism, and a permanent display about holiday traditions in Sweden.  By that time, we were ready for lunch.  Fish soup at Kaysa's in Hötorget, and à half an hour just taking in the sights and sounds of the deli markets, including the fresh fruit and veggie stands in the square.  lots of fresh chanterelles, which we wished we could bring back.  A short rest at the hotel, then off to Gamla Stan for ice cream and photos.  A nice ending to a great trip for me, and I think Becky enjoyed having company for the last part of her trip.  Tomorrow we head home!
