Stadshuset och Kungsträdgården

Photos from another beautiful day spent in Stockholm!


Stadshuset - Stockholm's city hall - built between 1911 and 1923

Me, Johanna, and her friend Mikaela at the Stadshuset - we climbed so many steps to get to the top!

After visiting the Stadshuset, I went to Kungsträdgården with my Tita and Oliver to see the cherry blossoms!

Such as big difference from what Kungsträdgården looked like in January!

After such a long and cold winter, it's so nice to be in Sweden! Apart from everything looking different (snow and ice replaced by green and flowers and sunsets at 9pm instead of 4pm), there are so many more people out and about. Since this was the first week where I could be outside comfortably without a jacket and scarf, it's so nice to see everyone out enjoying the sun and warmth with an ice cream, sitting by the Fyris river, or even sunbathing in 65 degree weather! As the semester slowly comes to an end, I'm really grateful that I've been here long enough to see the change in seasons and appreciate the beauties of both winter and spring. It's almost hard to believe that I've been here for 4 months already... there is so much that I'm going to miss upon my return to Texas! But, until then, I'm hoping to make the most of every day that I have left here. And with that said, I'm going to Paris on Tuesday! I'm hoping to come back with lots of great pictures and fun times! Kram!
