Stockholm

Weddings this year are bringing me to really nice locations. Some of them new, like Bulgaria in May, and some others “old friends” of mine, like Sevilla where I lived for a year, or Stockholm which hosted me up to half year.

I took one full week to enjoy the city again, and meet the people who were not on holidays that week (July is the holidays’ month in Sweden), and I discovered new areas which in Summer become really relevant in this city.

As you may know, Stockholm is composed of many islands, and what in winter is a source of cold feeling (due to humidity), in Summer is really enjoyable.

There is no single meter of “coast” in any island which is private. This lets you to walk around the islands next to the channels and the lakes, and find many places where to get a bath or just lay next to the water.

The city is full of piers for the lucky people owning a boat, and those not that lucky use them for sunbathing and bathing, making it a really lively city.

Yes, I know, strange pictures… Maybe the snow got me crazy. 😉

Snow

Just a short update to share a couple of pictures I took yesterday after it started snowing again here. I love seeing everything white as it is now, even though locals complain  that March is  not the right time for the snow (too late, they say… it’s not that dark anymore -I could argue against this…- and therefore they do not need the brightness of the snow). Anyway, for a couple of weeks I’m up here, I like to see this, and see the snow falling and so on… 🙂

By the way, I will be out enjoying more snow at its best in a ski resort in the next few days. I promise to do the picture selection after that. 🙂
