Sunday July 1st

Wooow reality is setting in that it's July and at some point I'm going to have to return to the states. I've got to say I have mixed feelings about it, miss my family and friends but my time here has been nothing but amazing. 25 days to make the most of my European excursion and almost half of that time I'll be traveling! Rome, Berlin, Amsterdam/Brugge are ahead for the weekends in July.

Today we woke up early and walked around Ostermalm, a prominent part of the city. It was a beautiful neighborhood with so many parks , gardens, and Parisian architecture. We then got on a ship to go to Vaxholm. Stockholm is so stunning because of how many islands make up the city and surround it. I enjoyed traveling through all the littol islands on the way, all had such cute houses. It was such a beautiful day so when we arrived we walked around the island, did a bit of shopping and grabbed a snack and then headed back to Stockholm.

After we got lunch at this AMAZING burger place (and y'all know how much I love burgers.) called Vigarda. Hipster-chill place. We went shopping for a bit (a lot pricier than Prague!) and then grabbed coffee and headed back to the hotel to rest. My parents have been to Stockholm and recommended this one restaurant called Five Small Houses which we ate at this evening. The restaurant combined 5 houses (hence the name) and was mostly underground, it was really sick! The food was amaazing, reindeer anyone?

So incredibly sad to be leaving Stockholm tomorrow. If you ever get the chance to go to Stockholm, do it! (I would only do it in the summer though!) it's 11:30pm and it's still light out...so crazy
It's great to be with family, love them! I definitely needed this break!
Busy week ahead, class Tuesday and Rome Thursday morning!

Sbohem,
Whit
