Tourist in Stockholm
Last week I was a tourist in Stockholm, or at least I looked like one with my camera. Thought I'd give you a tour.
View from City Hall (me and all the tourists)
Inner courtyard of City Hall
This is where the Nobel Prize Banquet is held (still City Hall)
The Royal Palace
The Parliament Building
A day in Dalarna
I don't know if I told you that my sister Linn got engaged in May and will get married next August. They have decided to have the wedding in Dalarna (even though Johan is from Stockholm) and therefore have been looking at some places around the lake of Siljan close to an hour drive from Falun. Me and my mom went on an excursion last Thursday to look at some places as they are still in Belgium plus my mom wanted to show me the place that they almost decided on. I brought my camera with me and I must say that they can't find a more beautiful place.
Lake Siljan
In this beautiful little hous on the dock is where they are planning on having the reception
Look at that view
From the dock you can see the church from where they are planning on arriving in a church boat
Here comes the train. The sign says "Warning, train twice an hour"
Celebrating my grandmother
Almost the whole family on my dad's side got togheter last month to celebrate my grandmother's 80th birthday. Let me introduce most of them who didn't mind me and my camera.
Aren't they the coolest?
The three brothers working the grill
Most of my cousins socializing with their cellphones
Getting the champagne glasses ready for the toast
Unfortunately the battery died so the rest of the evening did get recorded, but it was a great day and my dear grandmother was happy as can be.
At my parents'
Made this cute/ugly holder for the paper towels when I was a kid. My mom still has it in the kitchen and refuses to get a new one.
Can't stop laughing when I see it, especially as it has a lazy eye :)
My graduation gift
Finally, it arrived. What is more perfect than a giant New Yorker poster in my home?! This is my graduation gift from my parents and I love it. However I do t have my own home yet do it will probably go to my parents' until then.
My weekend in food
Spent last weekend eating, it's sort of my new passion. Not eating but cooking and eating good food. Last Friday we made a veggieburger made with portobello mushroom. It was the best burger I've even made.
I suppose you can call last Sunday a French Sunday. We started the day with breakfast at the best cafe (french of course) and ended it with galette at a French bistro. Yum yum! The best part: it was all delicious and cost me barely nothing.
