stockholm weekend pics, nobel museum

it was a lazy kind of weekend.  in pajamas until late morning, magazines to read (me), video games to play (boys), travel destinations to explore, a chicken dinner to cook and enjoy, another almond cake to devour, and a new cat to make comfortable in our home.

we did venture outdoors, but only because we thought we should get out of the house.  walking into gamla stan, the old town, we lunched on a gorgeous sandwich and kardemummabullar from fabrique; freshly made bread and pastries and all of it so good.  we're quite happy to have one around the corner from us!

we walked along the cobblestone streets to stortoget, in the middle of gamla stan, it's the oldest square in stockholm.  on this square you can find the nobel museum and two of the most photographed buildings.  

after sitting on the steps of the nobel museum consuming our lunch, we entered the museum and we thought it was all very cool.  i especially liked their temporary exhibit, sketches of science, portraits of the nobel laureates holding a sketch of their idea that won them the nobel prize; i especially enjoyed reading the photographers muses about each.  then there were the 3 minute films of laureates speaking about their idea - who knew that penicillin was discovered by accident!  what an inspiring place.  you can't help but leave the museum wondering how you can be of value in this world, no matter how small or big.  if you get the chance, do visit.

hope you had a lovely weekend.
