I don't regret a thing

I did not create this act of vandalism, I only took the photo. But I agree with the sentiment whole heartedly!

On this trip I met people from Budapest and Stockholm as well as residents and other travelers from Iran, Chile, California, Norway and all over the world. I pushed myself as a runner and a traveler and I don't regret a thing!

A special thanks to Marton, Peter, Susie, Edward, Jon, Anders and Didier for welcoming a traveler. May our paths cross again someday!

Stockholm's City Hall -- Stadshuset

Note the shot of lingonberries at the market; and all the bicycles stopped at a red light!!

More from City Hall

Con Artists in Gamla Stan

This was interesting. Notice the guy on watch?

More food

Grillska Husset was so good that I went back for another lunch. And I was tickled to find another cafe serving waffles with cloudberry jam! Mmmmm!

Stockholm's City Hall -- Stadshuset

Here are some shots of Stockholm's City Hall, Stadshuset. The Nobel Banquet is held in the blue room (hint: it's the brick room, the plan was to paint it blue, but the architect thought the brick was too pretty to cover). And the dance following the banquet is held in the Gold Room. Just like in the states the City Council is composed of part-time legislators who have day jobs. City Council meetings are held in the evenings. Our guide said it's popular (and free) to get married here. You can choose between the long three minute service or the quick 30 second one!
