Biking in Stockholm
May 29, 2008




view from our front porch




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.









Stockholm




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.









the waterfront amusement park Gröna Lund




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






sea gull babies on a dock at Beckholmen




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.

(Well, almost closed.)
