Video from "Log Island"

How Much Is Your Dollar Worth?
1 U.S. dollar = 5.9029


So as promised here is a video of our trip to Stockholm. As Agneta our guide told us "stock" is the word for log and "holm" means island. CiS Cultural fact #3: Stockholm is built on 14 islands and the log part of the name comes from a legend/story/history about the founding of the city that included hiding crown jewels in a hollowed out log and sending it down river and deciding to build the capital wherever the log ended up. So there you go.

That was part of the changing of the guard ceremony. It was about 45 minutes overall so this is just a piece. Also this video was the least likely one to bring on motion sickness. See, we care about our readers.

I'll post some pictures later today or tomorrow, I want to try something with them so I have to do some learnin' first.
