These pictures are kind of in random order. I'll label the ones I remember!
This is the Vasa Museum in Stockolm. It's a ship from the 1600's that sunk in the harbor on its maiden voyage, but was found and raised up and restored in the 1950's. Apparently the brackish water in the harbor preserved it.
A statue in Stockholm- the tour guide said he's happy and saying, "Hey, I'm naked!" There were lots and lots of naked statues.
Stockholm from an observation bridge.
Parilament building in Stockholm
Waterfront, Stockholm
This is a sculpture we saw while riding the ferry around between the islands that make up the city of Stockholm.

We may make a canvas print of this one. I really like it!

Copenhagen from the top of the Church of the Savior.

The Kronberg Castle in Denmark, This was the farthest out of the city we went- a pretty train ride away.
Kronberg Castle
Palace in Denmark
The Merman. This guy is in the harbor by Kronberg Castle.
The ramp up to the top of the Round Tower. It turned into much steeper stairs toward the top.
This is the inside of the Church of our Savior. It was very steep and longer up to the top. It was pretty claustrophobic until we reached the outside stairs, and then it was just scary! See the picture below.
That's the tower in the background we went to the top of. The winding things on the outside are the last steps to the top.
We enjoyed being able to go to the temple in Copenhagen.
Street in Copenhagen.
We went back during the day to the place where we had our Anniversary Dinner. It wasn't as pretty as it was at night. This waiter wanted to get a selfie with us.
The back of the Little Mermaid from the boat tour.
Rush hour in Copenhagen! Lots and lots of bikes.
The top of Kronberg Castle
Central Station in Copenhagen.
From the top of the Church of Our Savior.
Another canal tour picture. We went on it twice. The second day it was so we could get a rest, but it rained while we were out too, so it was a good place to be.
Side of the Little Mermaid.
Statues of the apostles in the Church of Our Lady, where the Christus is.
Ship in Stockholm harbor.
The Water Mother. She has 14 babies crawling all over her.
This is our airbnb apartment in Stockholm. It was nicer than the one in Copenhagen, which was a similar floor plan, but not as well-kept. It was basically a dorm room. This is an enclosed balcony, overlooking the train station. It was very easy to catch the train from here.
The bathroom was pretty interesting. You can see most all of it here. The shower is sort of built into a corner, and when you use it, you just close the curtain. It works!
The living area of the apartment. There was also a small kitchen. The only window in the place is at the end.
Our Anniversary evening in Copenhagen.
Top of the Church of the Savior on the outside steps.
This is how young moms get around in Denmark. Most people don't have a car, and those who do pay very heavy fees and taxes and gas is expensive. This girl has a stroller/pram with her baby tucked warmly under a specially made cover.
We spent a lot of time catching and riding trains. I liked it because we could people watch and kind of get a feel for what the average commuter's life is like.
We saw these missionaries out in the square in Copenhagen on Saturday. They were asking people to read one page of the Book of Mormon, and having some success. We saw a number of people stop to talk to them.
The Round Tower Church.
The Water Mother
There were bikes everywhere. There is a dedicated bike lane that's almost as wide as a car lane. It's next to the sidewalk, and you have to make very sure you stay off of it when you're walking.
We didn't end up renting any bikes, but took our pictures on some. These are the commuter bikes they have around town, similar to what we rode in Toronto. Behind us is Tivoli, the world's second oldest amusement park. It opened in 1843. The oldest amusement park is also in Denmark.
