today i woke up around 10 to an AMAZING sight... SUN in STOCKHOLM... it was crazy! i went outside for a walk around the big lake next to my apartment it was gorgeous. but then i came back inside and by the time i had taken a shower the sun was basically gone - back to the grey skies.
this afternoon i met up with andrea in skeppsholmen (one of the many islands) to go to the modern (art) museum, the walk over was so pretty - it was snowing lightly and from the bridge you can see most of gamla stan (the old town) and djurgarden (where the vasa and nordic museums are). the modern museum was nice... for a modern art museum - we looked around for an hour or so and then met up with ankur at the attached architecture museum which is free on friday afternoons. the architecture museum had wayyy to much text and reading involved for my tastes so we didn't last too much longer there.
after museuming we walked through gamla stan and found a cute coffee shop where we perused all of our various guide books for a somewhat affordable place to eat dinner... something that is not too easy to come by in stockholm. we decided on a thai place in sodermalm but when we got there it was really crowded so we went to a vegetarian restaurant nearby instead... it was great! they had a set menu which was all you can eat, but the first plates of vegan-gluten-free food we got were so wonderful and big that none of us went up for more... we will definitely be going back there.
after dinner, we tried to head to a jazz club but again it was too full, so we ended up at an irish pub right near the center of town adnan, anna and jana (more of the exchange students) joined us and we had a pretty fun non-club weekend night!
