sightseeing

One of the advantages of staying here for two months is that we can take in the sights at a leisurely pace. Here are some places we have visited recently:
  • Hagaparken (pictured): a large nature area just a few bus stops from our apartment.
  • Nordiska Museet (Nordic Museum): illustrates Swedish life through displays of everyday objects (an exhibit of footwear in the fashion wing, for example, includes everything from clogs and 19th century farm boots to Birkenstocks and tube socks).
  • Tekniska Museet (Museum of Science and Technology): we met up with our Berkeley friends on a rainy day last week to go to this hands-on science museum similar to the Exploratorium in SF.

Is that little figure off in the distance, coming up the hill A.? L. looks like she's enjoying life!

With the heat wave across the country, you're in a perfect place! It's been pretty extreme for here.

Miss you all!
