The Vasa warship on Stockholm, Sweden.

The warship sank on her maiden voyage in the harbor in 1628.

Raised to the surface in 1959, it is 98 percent original.


This is a rendering of how it would have been painted.

Drottningholm Palace, Sweden

Linn joined me today and we took a boat out to see the Queen’s Palace. The Royal family still lives in a part of it. It is meant to rival Versailles in France and is splendid.

In the garden area is a Chinese pavilion with some adjoining structures.


The guard pavilion is like a medieval tent.

And of course afternoon Fika, tea and pastries. Although coffee is served all day, I prefer tea.
