Denmark and Sweden

It’s been a whirlwind of an adventure since we left Germany. We spent time in Copenhagen, a few days visiting my son Jason in Sweden, and then we went to Ireland for almost a week. We’re in Iceland now, surviving the cold weather while enjoying the beauty of this country.

After two days and nights in Dresden, we flew to Copenhagen. We had two days there, although the first day was mostly travel, flying south to Munich so we could board a second plane to fly over Dresden on the way to Copenhagen. After a few trains and streetcars, we found our apartment, dropped off our bags, and went wandering around looking for a place to eat. We found a really good pizza joint.

We went into town the next morning. Downtown was great. The harbor is what I’d always thought it would look like, with the colorful buildings, boats, and coffee and beer joints. Linda and I walked and walked and walked, and drank both coffee and beer. After a long day downtown, we went back to our apartment and chilled.

One of the highlights of my trip was traveling to Stockholm to see my son Jason. Jason moved to Sweden over ten years ago, and I’ve only seen him three times since, all in the States. When are arrived in Stockholm, and rode the train from the airport, Jason was downtown to meet us. Seeing him was especially great as it was my birthday. Being with Jason and Linda was the best gift I could want.

Linda and I spent three days in Stockholm. We found a lovely apartment in a quiet neighborhood, and found it quite easy to get around using busses and streetcars. We spent one entire day walking around downtown, visiting museums and parks.

Our last day in Sweden was short. We had a flight to Dublin in the early afternoon. We woke up early, packed, and rode a train to Uppsala, the city where Jason lives. He and I walked around while Linda watched our luggage, and then we said goodbye until the next time we meet.

Next stop, Ireland.
