Tourist Day Out, Part 1 – Moderna Museet
When an old friend from college showed up in Stockholm for a visit (and a Dolly Parton concert a couple of weekends ago), we did some sightseeing – most notably the Swedish Museem of Modern Art – Moderna Museet. Before going there, we got on a boat!
This was a shot from the boat. Looks kinda cool, right? That’s the best picture I’ve taken in my time on boats here.
More pictures behind the jump – this is an image heavy post.
I was a bad girl and took pictures inside…but for today, you’ll have to settle for the pictures outside of the museum! If you are ever in Stockholm, I hope you make it to the Moderna Museet.
Here are some shots from some displays outside
I loved this from the photography exhibit! I may very well have to submit a photo in…of a nail swatch. Now I have to figure out what color to do.
Had a great day here – we took a boat up to the island (in case you didn’t know, Stockholm is comprised of archipelagos) and for my return, I ended up taking the Blue Line 65 bus back to T-Centralen (Central Station). It was easy and so much easier than getting on the boat. I was able to use my pre-purchased ticket and all that crazy stuffs. I even have a card to travel around the city by public transport…sometimes it’s a bit of a pain because I’m so used to having a car.
When I go to the store I think, “It’s only a 3 block walk back! It’s not far at all.” Famous last thought. It gets really awkward when I’m carrying 5 shopping bags that are kind of heavy — thanks orange juice and milk! Of course, when I get back to the apartment I’m so irritated with the bags cutting into my hands I take the elevator up. Because, you know, going up the stairs to the first floor is really so hard. Plus, I’ve nearly fallen down those narrow ass stairs. I was doing laundry one day. I took the stairs because (back then) I couldn’t justify taking the elevator down ONE FLOOR. As luck would have it, I wasn’t paying attention and I missed a step. In that split second I was like, “Save my ass or save the dirty laundry?” I chose to save my funky chunky butt and let my dirty laundry fly down the stairs. As luck would have it, it landed at the feet of a guy who really was trying not to laugh. Glad I can make your day with my clumsiness. 
I’m pretty sure it was a funny sight. Not.
That’s life for me right now! Sorry it’s not exciting. I will have more pictures for you, but for the next round they’re badly taken iPhone photos.
