Had a great visit with Marike in Stockholm though I was on my own for 2 days because Marike had to work. She is an flight attendant. Saw lots of museums though. Went to the palace (http://www.visit-sweden.com/) where there are 4 museums and the 3 state apartment visits; the Medieval Museum; the Silk weaving museum (http://www.kasiden.se/english.htm) which is actually back in operation to make siks of the exact type originally made for the palace furniture and still using hand looms dating back about 200 years; the National Museum (http://www.nationalmuseum.se/enindex.shtml).
When Marike got back I got a driving tour of the huge parks on the islands of Stockholm and the countryside. We drove out to the Butterfly and bird house (http://www.fjarilshuset.se/frame-e.htm), Skokloster Slott (http://www.lsh.se/skokloster/info.htm) on a lake 2 hours north and Daniella's home in the woods for a visit.
Just ran out of time.
