As mentioned before I visited the Vasa Museum today. I took the train to Stockholm Center and then strolled through the outdoor markets and along the water to an island located just east of where I work. There was a long line to enter the museum and once I was inside I understood why. The ship was so beautiful! It first sailed in the 1600's, but was built improperly so quickly sank. It sat at the bottom of the harbor in Stockholm for over 300 years before being brought back to life.
Once I left the museum I started my walk back to the train station. The clouds were darkening so I went inside a cafe with all glass walls. I got a glass of wine and a pear and pecan tart with creme. As I enjoyed the tart and wine and read 'Outlander' (a Scottish romance novel), the rain poured down outside. It was the perfect afternoon.
