OLd ToWn STOCKHOLM


IT WAS A GLORIOUS DAY.....HOW COULDN'T IT BEEN AS WE WERE IN STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN SMACK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINTER.  THE GODS MUST HAVE LOVED US BECAUSE FOR A BREIF TIME THEY LET THE SUNSHINE IN..... AFTER A SCANDINAVIAN BREAKFAST OF FRESH FRUIT, GRAVLOX AND BLACK BREAD, WE WALKED THE CITY (NATURALLY).  TODAYS MISSION TO SEE THE MEDIEVAL CITY (AN ISLAND UNTO ITSELF)  CALLED GAMLA STAM.   IN WINTER IT'S DELIGHTFULLY YOURS, AS THE TOURISTY CROWDS ARE MISSING AND YOU CAN WANDER THE ATMOSPHERIC ANCIENT ALLEYS
