The End

Home Sweet Home

First American purchase, it is both larger and colder than any beverage I've had in the last 2 weeks.

U-S-A! U-S-A!

Goodbye Paris

After a harried 3 hour trip, we're on board and ready to fly.

Last metro ride

Bregeut-Sabin station

Aujord'hui en Places des Vosges

This is from Sunday, we spent the day catching up on shopping and errands in lieu of seeing more art. Crepes and reading in the Place des Vosges before packing and the Euro final tonight. Vamos Espana ou Forza Azzuri?

Sunset over paris?

Boring!

Katelyn and I are pretty exhausted (as this photo shows), turns out 18 hour days take their toll after about a week. Looking forward to coming home tomorrow, though I'm not saying i'd turn down an offer to stay here...

A Full Day in Paris

Not sure our day could have been more packed with stuff, we were pooped and left Centre Pompidou only half finished, we'll have to return for the modern modern stuff later.

Attached is from our break at the louvre on the Richelieu terrace

Travel Day

Back to travel photos, spent my last kronor on coffee at the gate, Paris aujord'hui!

B. A. R.

Last day in Scandinavia, and we finally found some quality seafood, Paris demain.

J'arrive!

Yay!

Stathus - Day 4

Highlights included visiting the state house, more rain, shopping in Sodermalm, and pizza with Elin & Lotta (my bernaise pizza wasn't an anomaly, we've also seen it on nachos). Tonight I tried chicken, curry, peanut and banana, which was surprisingly delicious, though it does take a lot for me to opine otherwise.

Today's picture is from the Stathus (city hall, home of the Nobel banquet), after the tour is finished you affix your sticker to this board which results in quite the piece of modern art.

SVB

Rented and rode bikes around to art museums today, Cason is very displeased with the number of Socialist activities I'm making him experience.

Mariefred

Day 2 consisted of a visit to Mariefred, Stragnas, and a Swedish royal palace with my aunt and uncle and their traveling group. Something about being on a train makes me feel like I'm in a spy movie.

Also, bernaise sauce on a pizza, though not bad, isn't something I'll try to eat again any time soon.

Ha en glad midsommer!

Finally out of airports and in Sweden (where the trains have free wifi) ! I've got 619 kr in my pocket and I'm ready for midsommer.

Music = Bon Iver (it just seemed right)

Midsommer Day

This was a really cool experience, celebrating the longest day of the Nordic summer with dancing, eating and community pole decorating out on Voxholm, one of the many islands in the archipelago.

Midsommer Night

Walked the beautiful streets of Stockholm tonight, this pic was taken around 10:30 PM, only 20 minutes after sunset. The waterways and architecture make this a truly beautiful place to be, especially with an extra few hours of sunlight.

Last American Meal

McDonalds fries and PB&J, perfect if not for the Pepsi...

(tunes = Drake)

On Plane #1

Music=johnny cash

Rdu/test

Bag check and security took all of 15 mind, now I'm setting up a blog!

Hopefully I'll post some pics and updates here so keep your eyes peeled...
