Swedish Fever

Yann and I had the great pleasure of going to Sweden this past week to see my friends Cecilia and Brad. Cecilia and Brad are expecting their first child in just over one month so it was high time to make a visit before their 2 lives became 3.

For 5 days, we roamed around Stockholm in some pretty frigid temps. Paris has openly welcomed Spring with its warm sunshine, flowers blossoming and terrace cafes maxed to capacity...while Stockholm was still in the final grips of winter. That is to say: this girl was NOT prepared for the cold.

The solution to cold weather in Stockholm?
- Stop for coffee and one of the many lovely cafes offering 'take away' lattes and cinnamony, buttery pastries
- Spend all day basking in the warmth of a Swedish bathhouse - complete with humid and dry saunas, aromatherapy rooms, turkish baths and jacuzzi
- Hide out in fabulous museums. Top choices: The Photography Museum, Modern Art Museum and the VasaMuseum
- Eat AMAZING food at one of the local, covered markets. Fresh fish + delicious sauces + boiled potatoes + cream = SO SO good
- Wear warmer clothes

As Brad summed up for me : "There is no such thing as cold weather, just poor clothing". To this I say "Shutup Brad".
