What's With This Stockholm Place, Already...??!!

Yes, I know, this is my third posting today.  Maybe it’s all the hot chocolate I’ve been drinking, or perhaps there’s something in the Vanilla Sauce.  I must confess, I have been overdosing on Vanilla Sauce today. Apple Cake this morning; Raspberry Pie this evening.  With plenty of Vanilla Sauce (and no, it’s not like custard…)

 

Anyway, I’ve just been out wandering around the streets of the Old Town (Gamla Stan).  It starts to get dark here around 3pm.  Not that that’s a problem.  You see, the Old Town is best viewed at night; wandering down medieval alleyways, and constantly finding something new.  I’ve been doing a lot of that today.  I’ll try and take some pictures and post them.  I mean, the place is pretty kewl during the day, with a low rumble of people as they bustle by; a mixture of Swedish and English in the air.  And street markets, and glögg and pepparkakor being sold on every corner.  This morning – a vague whiff of cinnamon in the air.  The sound of church bells.  It’s that kind of place – infectious.  And I love it.

I just wish someone was here to share it with me.
