Stockholm- Take 2!

The next day was more sightseeing around Stockholm and we went on a boat ride around the archipelago. The boat was more of a high speed raft with seats, and they give you these outfits to stay warm and dry while speeding like crazy. Here we are in our awesome get-ups:

We kinda felt like the ghostbusters

Our guide was all about speed, which I loved. It was like being on a jet ski without getting wet! Check out how fast we were going for almost an hour:



After the boat ride, we headed off to Stadshuset (City Hall) for a little more sight seeing, and an impromptu band cover picture. Go to Blake's webpage right now to vote on what you think our band should be named. Hurry!

If we were a rockband, this would be our album cover (photo by Blake)

Deciding to embrace the whole tourist thing, we went to the Absolute IceBar that night. Blake and I had gone in January, and drinking in ice is so awesome that we didn’t want to keep that to ourselves.

Kathleen really picked up on the Stockholm sense of style as you can clearly see here:

Note: When going to a bar made of ice, I suggest (and I am sure Kathleen does too now) to wear more than flats and a skirt. Although our resourceful friend found that the sock she normally uses as a camera case doubles as a sock! Genius!

We then explored a little more of the Stockholm night life on a Sunday night. We even convinced a bar to put on a real American football game! Oh boy! (No, really, it was awesome, Blake and I are going through some serious football withdrawals.) The most exciting part of the night was when Kathleen and I found out the best apart about girls shoes:
