It was fun to play tourist on Saturday with Paul and Riku. We boarded a ferry to Djurgarden to visit the Vasa Museum. In 1628, the Vasa war ship sank on its maiden voyage in the middle of the Stockholm Harbor. The ship was restored and excavated in the 1950s and now sits in a huge building for everyone to see. The history and artifacts were very cool for a museum nerd like me. After the museum we took a walk to Gamla Stan and grabbed a coffee at my favorite place, Chokladkoppen. Then we found a random bar that had a live band playing. The band was awesome and we enjoyed hanging out with all the cougars. We moved on to the Vampire Lounge after, but unfortunately I didn't find my Edward. It was underground in a basement with a low-light setting. Totally a cool place with a chill vibe, and it was fun to try the "vampire theme" drinks. All in all, it was a long, but totally fun Saturday. Sunday we went to a hockey game at the Ericsson Globe Arena in Stockholm for a Sweden vs. Finland match. It was a lot of fun and Sweden pulled out the win in an overtime shootout. Next time I will paint my face blue and yellow like a real fan.
