Pleased to be here in Stockholm

Stockholm was very pleased to see us

and we are pleased to be here.  It is a very beautiful city built on a number of islands.  Reminds me a bit of Istanbul and Sydney.

There is a rescued shipwreck named the Vasa, which is the only surviving 17th century galleon.  Connor and I both enjoyed it.  It sank 1000 feet or so from launch and the bureaucrats responsible managed to get promoted.  Haven't we come a long way?
Apparently, the Dutch shipbuilders and Swedish shipbuilders worked on different sides of the ship, and had different size inches!!!!

Connor also enjoyed his sushi for dinner later, which came on a bed of dry ice.
