Stockholm

 

We spent yesterday in Stockholm - a two hour drive North from Linkoping. In search of a good place to leave the car for the day we found the Nordic Museum and the Vasa Museum. We spent the rest of the afternoon absorbed in the fantastic shipwreak inside the Vasa Museum. It was a nice warm day outside but the dark hall filled with the boat and remnants of the cargo was much more alluring.

After the museum we walked around the old city where we found the Stampen bar which is the famous "Pawn Shop" where the Jazz albums by that name were recorded. Joel had a audiophile moment as we set on greasy bar stools under the canopy of old instruments and curios hanging above our heads and listened to a set of live jazz.
