We had overcast weather for most of our time in Stockholm, with sunset around 10:30 and sunrise at 3:30 am so it was just kind of gray most of the time. We attended the conference opening social at the Nordic Museum on Djurgården Island.

The next morning we decided to explore Djurgarden. The island is a big park area with lots of museums, we walked around the Skansen open air museum and zoo, Viking Museum, historic boats, amusement park-the oldest in Sweden and host of summer concerts, ABBA museum, etc.

At the Swedish History Museum we saw some interesting history. Unfortunately the Viking exhibit was closed.

Attended the conference, then took the subway to Gamla Stan (old town), lots of old buildings and narrow roads, Nobel Museum was very interesting, walked by the Palace.

The next day we took a tour of Town Hall, and had Vio scooter ride for 25 minutes before taking the Royal Canal boat tour–lots of historic buildings and boats.

I had a reindeer wallenbergare for lunch.

The conference closing social was at the Vasa Museum with its restored sunken ship.
