Ex-Expat Day 16

Another morning in Stockholm. Another coffee shop. Another day of re-familiarizing myself with life in Sweden. And yes, another day of criss-crossing the city by tram, subway, and bus … and on foot! I gotta get my steps in, right?

I’m both a tourist and a native. I recognize some places, and am totally lost in others. Familiar places. New places. Wrong subway platform. Right exit to that one street.

So many bridges. I forgot that Stockholm is made up of an infinite number of islands. Beautiful parks. Old buildings. New buildings. So many coffee shops. How much coffee do Swedes drink?

Water. Bridges. Boats. Everywhere. This is a great city! 😊
