Today we took a 3 hour brunch cruise in Stockholm Harbor and Lake Malaren. It's not really a lake but an inlet off the Baltic Sea where Stockholm harbor rests. The harbor itself is surrounded by beautiful and majestic architecture which has a lot of Russian features to it. High spires and turrets. They say that Helsinki has even more of the Russian influence. The cruise went from Stockholm up to Vaxholm, which is a quaint little summer town at the gateway to the archipelago.
The brunch was a smorgasboard of Swedish dishes - salmon, lox, an assortment of herring dishes, cole slaw, potatoes, etc. Saffron cheesecake for desert. I couldn't believe they did not have Swedish meatballs. I have to have some before we leave here!!
It was a wonderful day today with everyone together and it was a pleasant trip. The weather was cold but no snow, fog or rain in site.

No swedish meatballs? haha! what's wrong with that country?
(Maybe it's like Ireland? The only place you could buy corned beef was at the airport tourist shop on the way out of the country. They don't eat corned beef. )
This trip looks wonderful. The apartment seems luxurious and cozy. All the photos of the snow and decorations and buildings and family - perfect Christmas.
