Stockholm! Capital city of Sweden, encompasses 14 islands and more than 50 bridges on an extensive Baltic Sea archipelago. We set out today to ride a few of the bike trails around this city. Seeing places that few tourists experience. Of course, it was blustery wind and temps in the mid 50's, but that did not deter us. Be sure to watch the video in the blog entry before this one. Here and the next entry will include photos not in the video. One of our learning and discovery stops was a prison now repurposed into a hotel/hostel. Gives new meaning to be retiring to your cell...😊. Next to the prison is a neighborhood of gardens. This evolved as a result of the shortage of food caused by the world wars. The land is owned by the country, the gardeners rent the land and live in the little structures. There is electricity but not running water. There is a shared facility for bodily function activity. The silhouette statue is on one of the many channels of water next to the City Hall. This is the location where the Pulitzer Prize winners selections are announced. The swans.... self explanatory. Just thought they were pretty and fun to shoot, with a camera. ☺️
