Chapter 4: Protesting The Rain

Another day, another adventure...aside from walking up on a rally of Stockholm construction workers (I think they're striking...I have video), I checked out the National Museum of Art, listened to some darn good street musicians...walked around suburbia, and...well...ummm....yeah, another record store...

Taken last night...they have these on all the streets in Gamla Stan...
it was only a matter of time...

random street in Sodermalm

cool building somewhere in Sodermalm

they have SO much random art in this city...

I didn't name it, I just photographed it...

I think it's a church...

For my Mom...because she thinks that guy could write...

I stumbled across a protest/strike of the city construction workers...got video too....good times!

The "snow fort" from yesterday turns out to be a cross country ski competition...around the Royal Palace...it's an annual event...yes, I'm serious...the event is tomorrow...I am SO there!

SEE...I wasn't kidding!

Chapter 3: Rockin' Doughnuts!

Another day of walking...snagged some Swedish punk from a kickass music store...hung out with a stoned rocker...and checked out some big coin! Enjoy!

NOTE: I have been informed that the videos may not run in their entirety...google video is hosting them and sometimes takes a bit...best thing is to hit play, then pause...then read the blog while it loads...

This was in the breakfast room at the hotel...no idea how I missed it yesterday...

The worlds' largest coin!!!!!! It's from 1645 and worth about $10.
