Scandanavian Vacation--SWEDEN

On our Scandanavian trip we also visited Stockholm.  They were having a week long celebration of their 750th Anniversary.  It is a terrific city with lots of neat history.  (Think Vikings!)

This is the Royal Palace, as seen from our hotel room...quite the view, eh?

This is the Grand Hotel, Stockholm's most historic hotel.  Its where we stayed...

and this is the Parliament building, its next door to the palace...also as viewed from our hotel!

This is old town Stockholm...a little older than the "old towns" here in the US!

Here we both are on the dinner cruise.

We went on a dinner cruise one night into the canals...the palace in the background is the royal summer home.

We saw a lot of hot air balloons while on our dinner cruise.  Here they are flying over old town.
