Biking in Stockholm
(Well, almost closed.)

Heading to work can get messy sometimes...

...when the police has all of downtown closed off for the Iraq Summit.

blocking roads


they sure got this street covered

TV's out too - "What do you think of the sudden road closures?"

Anyway, Christine and I head out on our bikes to roam downtown a little.

The tall ship Götheborg moored right by the Wasa (also a tall ship) museum.

The city's best lounge bar has real palm trees out front

The guy who owns the Chelsea team, also has a large boat...currently moored here in Stockholm.

city life



For our national day (June 6), flags are everywhere

the parliament building

The tall ship Götheborg has moved to a quay in Old Town

This little island in downtown Stockholm is almost untouched from the old ship industry days.

the local dry dock

Plenty of room...with the gates closed and water removed.
