Stockholm: A Day in Pictures

as written by jeff:

we woke up at 530 kevin was pissed off as he suspected he would be. give him 5 minutes and he recovers and we get up and say goodbye to patricia as she heads off to work and go to the roof quietly. it was cold and beautiful the city was quiet and sleeping peacfully. fucking clouds. we go back downstairs and have some tea and read the news but we are hungry and want to buy some muesli so we go to the grocery store but its only 730 and everything is closed and people are still in their beds sleeping peacefully. 7-11 is open but it sucks and we decide to go back and kill time so i shower and shave and soon enough its 9 and the grocery store is open so we go out and buy some eggs and black beans and muesli which kevin proceeded to cook. we top the eggs and beans with sriracha (lovely) and have some more tea along with our muesli and yogurt. cheap eating is grand. we relax some more and go to the city in search of a jacket or shoes. all the teenagers look like rockstars of fashion models in their well planned outfits and hairstyles and we are still tired and the indian-whistle-playing-music-mafia are putting on an extravagant show with smoke and wireless mics. we go to a couple stores but they are all expensive and nothing fits right and its another day without these items. wait for france. we go to the system looking for wine for the night and we find one liter for 50kr which is about $8 so we are happy and leave to watch people playing dodgeball in a park. they are all drinking and it reminds me of new york and we eat free hotdogs but we leave to go to VEGO Massan (see picture earlier in slide) in hopes of getting free vegetarian food from vendors. the 40kr entrance fee sucks and the event is small with only tiny samples at a handful of booths and we are both dissapointed and feel jipped but we stay for a bit to keep out of the cold. the event stays boring so we leave and head back to patricias and eat a coke-float and we slowly pack our bags realizing we are going to miss this apartment but we say goodbye to patricia and go to Martin's house- our new couchsurfing host. We meet him and his roommate Sandra and they are both awesome so we cook some dinner and drink some wine and hang around talking before going to a party. Martin and Kevin and I walk for 20 minutes to a columbian birthday party which is full of guys dancing and a huge bowl of guacamole which is amazing so we eat and eat and eat and take pictures and talk with the people who are funny and friendly and can all dance well. kevin and i are in shock that we are in stockholm and continue drinking and our pictures get worse and it gets late and we are all tired and leave. it is brisk and we are dragging our feet and we make it back and fall into the couch and quickly pass out.
