SVERIGE!! (A.K.A. Sweden (A.K.A. Ruotsi))

The past three days I had the amazing opportunity to go on a cruise to Stockholm, Sweden. It was some of the best 3 days of my exchange! The trip started on Monday when we drove to Helsinki and boarded a pretty big boat.

It wasn't quite as big as the Disney cruise,

but it was still really nice!
There was several stores to shop at on the boat too!!

The weather was really great all three days!

 The cruise traveled overnight to Stockholm, so on Tuesday we spent the whole day in the city. We dedicated most of our time to shopping, but we did have a chance to walk around the old part of Stockholm.
Most of the buildings are this pretty orange color.


Stockholm is, apparently, known for really narrow streets. 

This is definitely true. 

It is a gorgeous city, nonetheless.
Our next stop was the coolest Urban Outfitters ever. I didn't even know Urban exists outside the USA, but it does. AND it is so cool. It was built inside of an old theater and they tried to keep as much as the theater atmosphere as possible. 
The sign reminded me of the Buskirk Chumley in Bloomington.

Wendy, You would have LOVED it :)


We also bought some chocolates before heading back to the ship.
Here is a mixture of the rest of the pictures from the trip.


These lions are all around Stockholm.



The bright star is Jupiter or so I was told.


MEEEEE!

The sea is pretty cool.

 SO as you can see I had a really wonderful trip. Thanks so much for my host family for taking me!! It was a great way to spend my winter break! Also, a thanks to Stockholm for making it such a great trip. I hope we meet again.
