I continued the walk by walking around the shops in Old Town. I wanted to start scoping out some good souvenirs to purchase. But first on my shopping list is a pari of sunglasses. I broke mine and it hurts to wear them. I saw this sunglasses shop with 50% sale tags all over the shop. Looks very interesting. The shop owners sort of ignored me at first until I opened my mouth. "This girl is American," they thought to themselves. They started being more friendly to me. I guess once again, the American dollars rocks! I bought my new pair of sunglasses and headed for my next shop.
I ended up buying a magnet for Mitzie. Things here are sort of expensive. But I saw some stuff animals that I liked. I may end up buying a stuff animal with a Swedish flag on it.
I ended up in front of the Nobel Museum an hour later. Just where I stopped the other day. So I followed my travel guide's instructions and headed for the palace. I was supposed to see the palace again, though a different view. This palace wing is supposed to be next to a church and in front of the harbor. It is so pretty just standing there admiring the architecture of the palace. I think the royal emblem for the Swedish royal family is two angels holding on to the crown. The angels represents peace. Sweden is known for a peaceful stance on all matters politics. That is why they dislike the American government so much.
I quickly realized that I have covered all of Gamla Stan without knowing it. Buildings and places are looking familliar to me. I wanted to get some dinner but decided against it. I don't know how much my other travels are going to cost me yet.
