Stockholm

So Sweden is all you have ever heard it to be. The landscape is beautiful, the canals and rivers are breathtaking and the whole city has a really energetic vibe.

While in Stockholm, we were rushed around from site, to museum, to building...but we did have a bit of time in the evening to experience the culture. All in all it would have been nice to spend a couple more days in this city.

The highlight was the Modern Art Museum, which featured an architecture exhibit, as well as a very interesting collection of modern art. The modern art housed here was actually quite beautiful and understandable. It is really remarkable how out in left field some art can get, but this was a really nice middle ground. The building was also very well done, and a pleasure to be in.

While on our way to the bus to leave Sweden, I was able to score a Swedish massage on the street side from a street vendor type. You should have seen her stretching her limbs in preparation for the massage…quite the site. She then proceeded to do her job, and man did it feel good. Probably the best 20 minutes in Sweden were spent on that crazy chair.

I was quite inspired by my time there, and am looking forward to getting back to Copenhagen to start work on my chair in steel.
