The Sweds


So, as you can see this is some cover of playboy I found on google. The point of the photo is the emphatically express that every single girl in this country looks like this. I swear... we went into H&M the first day we were here and they just come at you. They are friendly and nice and not even mean or snotty like pretty american girls. I dont even think they know they are pretty. I love it. Ohhh.. the Sweds.

The Venice of the North


Stockholm is called the Venice of the North. Although it is not quite like Venice twisting canals one can see a resemblance. The whole city is an archipelago. Several small islands... even the royal palace is on its own island.

The Ryanair Debacle


Ok so Ryanair has to be the cheapest airfare in all of europe. Far cheaper then anything in the United States. My flight to Stockholm cost a cheap 55E. Thats pretty good. The only thing is that they have the worst customer service in the world. I lost the confirmation number for our flight and you need this to get your tickets... or so I was told. I tried to call every single customer service number and they all were recordings with no people to be found. I read some other guys blog that said just go to the airport early and you can get your tickets. So I did and guess what... I am in Stockholm. Thanks blog guy.

The Temple of Zeus


At night we went and sat in front of a fountain which looks over the Pantheon. There used to be a statue of Zeus in the building but some Pope or something decided it would be be a better idea to destroy history and turn it into a church. Oh well, inside it has a huge dome with a round opening in the middle of it. One of a kind.

The Ring of Fire


On a rainly day in Rome I went to the Coliseum. I have a silly look on my face because I am getting wet. Although I did not go inside the structure I did walk around the roman ruins which looked like they were still being excavated. Too bad it was raining.
