This is one of the better protest posters
we've seen of the war in Iraq. People haven't been too shy about telling
us how shameful America's behavior is right now.

In Stockholm, the main tourist thing we do is
see Skansen, an outdoor museum and zoo. Ryan can't resist the camel ride
for the kiddies.
|
 |
Skansen has many old buildings from around
Sweden displayed on a lovely plot of land, which opened as a museum in
1891. You can see the swamp has some thin ice.
|
 |
Some of the buildings were
built in the 13th century. Others are farms from the 15th through 17th
centuries. (Note the traditional Swedish implement: the örange
køne.)
|
 |
The zoo includes some reindeer. There are
also bison, bear, moose, fox, pigs, and Shetland ponies.
|
 |
I was amazed by the color of this building.
|
 |
This is a rune stone that was used as a
memorial. I think it is from the 12th century.
|
 |
There are people in some of the buildings
acting as merchants or farmers or whatever. There is even a baker
complete with irresistable smells and costly biscuits.
