5 Juli

I waited impatiently for Jonathan's train to arrive at the station this morning, and then I had a full day planned to get the jet lag out of his system.  He made it (barely), and he'll thank me tomorrow (maybe) 😴

We headed first to Gamla Stan. The old town. Here we saw the traditional changing of the guard at the Royal Palace, Tysk Krykan (the German church), MÃ¥rten Trotzigs Gränd (the narrowest street in the world), the Myntkabinettet (world money museum), and toured the Alfred Nobel Museum.

American Monies: the first $5, $50, $0.25 (top to bottom)

Jonathan found a tiny chair to rest while we walked around :)
Fika is an important part of Swedish life, so we stopped by Kaffekopen on Stortorget (the main square) for coffees and a slice of rhubarb pie.

I can now say that I've ridden a boat as a form of public transportation because we took the ferry over to DjurgÃ¥rden on the way home (ish) to check in out for tomorrow. It was a beautiful view and we saw a rainbow.

Rainbow view from the ferry as well
It was good first day. Jonathan was a trooper, and he is very excited for sleep now. We're already old hands at public transportation and we're excited for tomorrow. 

It's so nice having him here 💕
