I'm just now back to London. After finishing exams and finding I still had a few weeks in Europe, I decided to travel a bit (more). So last week a friend and I packed up and went to Stockholm. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera, so he has all of the pictures. I'll try to post them some time. Not that they will be that spectacular. While Stockholm is a beautiful city (with BEAUTIFUL people), it rained the entire time we were there. Not light London sprinkles, but proper rain, soaking everything, and making sightseeing...rather less enjoyable than it could have been. But then again, there were enough indoor palaces, museums, and bars that we enjoyed ourselves. Also, coming from some Swedish roots, I was anxious to find family. I think I found my long lost cousins, what do you think:
Once back from Sweden, I had about 30 hours to rush around doing laundry, getting a bit of food, and re-packing before heading off to Nice, aka Cote d'Azur on the French Riviera. Another friend and I went, and titled the week 'Most relaxing holiday ever.' We stayed at a hostel that was ten minutes from the beach, and spent the better part of four days doing nothing but lying on the (rocky, so we rented chairs) beach. Reading, sleeping, quick swimming, more reading, swimming. Just an unbelievable relaxing time. On morning we did get up and take the (1 euro!) quick bus to Monaco, which, while beautiful, would certainly be much more fun wealthy than on a university student's budget. Still, rich cars, casinos, yachts, and people.
The beach is Nice; the one with me is Monaco/Monte Carlo:
Now two more weeks in London and then back Stateside. Best to all!
