First off, could it BE any colder in Stockholm... seriously, it's like, 40 degrees. BUT we love it here! We got on the train from Copenhagen at 830 this morning and arrived here at around 2pm... without any interruptions or random bad luck! Well, except Copenhagen had the last laugh, we couldn't get our traditional souvenirs that we have gotten in every city so far, everything in the city was closed in the morning... I don't know why that city hated us but it really did. So we got off the train in Stock and almost died of hypothermia, but got to our hostel safely and discovered that it's pretty decent, which makes us nervous everytime. Kathryn did the usual bed bug-check and the mattresses passed, so we aren't totally disgusted with this place.. and there are locks. Bonus.
When we got here we called a family that Kathryn's grandfather had met while skiing in Tahoe. They invited us over to their house for dinner- Swedish meatballs (authentic-no more stouffer's microwave lunches for us) and enjoyed having time to get to know the Swedish culture and talk about the differences between American and Swedish life! We're staying over there tomorrow night, yay a real house! SO we're super excited for that.
Tomorrow we're doing a hop-on, hop-off bus tour because our feet are about to fall off of our bodies, and it's also FREEZING! It seems to be beautiful here though, so we're pumped to start exploring tomorrow... we'll probably head out to the Archipelago at some point maybe Tuesday before we're off to Prague! Today was relaxing, and definitely some needed downtime.
We'll blog more tomorrow night... after we see some sights and what not... k bye!
Silvana and Kathryn

MAN ARRESTED FOR VOYEURISM AT THE POLOS APARTMENTS
Police arrested a gville man early monday morning after he admitted to looking at women through their bedroom windows and taking pictures of one of the women when she was partially nude.
Matthew A. Henry, 43, was found at the polos apartment complex around 2am in front of a woman's window with his pants open and his genitals exposed, according to his arrest report.
When asked what he was doing, Henry said he had heard someone singing and thought the voice was beautiful, the report stated.
He said he had been walking around the complex when he heard a woman singing, but that when he tried to look through her window, he couldn't see anything because the blinds were closed, according to the report.
The woman said she recognized Henry as someone she has seen twice at Library West and said she thought he had followed her home. She said Henry stood outside her bedroom window while she changed her clothes.
Henry also told police he had been to the complex the previous night and taken pictures of another woman in her bedroom.
See you in Rome! -- James
