Short days and Gamla Stan
I took these pictures between 3pm and 4pm on Saturday. Today sunrise was at 7:58am and sunset was at 3:09pm - and we're a month off from the shortest day of the year!
On Saturday I wandered around central Stockholm and then down to Gamla Stan (Old Town). This is the "gates" crossing over the bridge to Gamla Stan. (The picture above was taken from the bridge.)
Gamla Stan is all cobblestone streets, some of which are extremely narrow. There are a lot of touristy shops, selling Sweden t-shirts and Pippi Longstocking hats/braids. There are also a bunch of coffee shops, ice cream shops, and restaurants (many of which are Italian restaurants). I'm told that there's also a good Christmas market there, so I'll have to check that out.
