The main reason for visiting Stockholm in October was to see Ian, so we’ve been spending a lot of time walking around the city with him. It’s cool out, but mostly sunny and very pleasant.

Here is an interesting bit of modern art … in a manner of speaking. When a dead tree was cut down, the stump was carved into the shape of … a tree.

Stockholm has an excellent subway system, which makes it very easy to get around the city. It was Saturday afternoon, so it wasn’t busy at all.

Ian showed us around his work.

We stopped by the grocery store for snacks and the liquor store for wine and beer, and then for the rest of the afternoon Jan read a book and enjoyed the view, while Ian and I played a tabletop game (Bolt Action) with model armies.

We played to a draw. It isn’t for everyone, but we had an enjoyable afternoon working on strategy, sampling the local beer, and visiting. It was fun.
