There were soo many people in Stockholm, and the whole city was decorated in Swedish flags and other banners and decorations.. There were people handing out, paper swedish flags, candy, little cups of fruit, cardboard crowns and even Phone cards with 100kr of credit on it.. (i like freebies!)
Most of the day i spent with Megan (exchange student from U.S), Sofi (from Mexico) and Sofi's host parents. We just walked around and looked at different displays and things like that in the morning, then went and had lunch at a mexican restaraunt.. we watched the wedding on a big screen in like a park type area in stockholm.... (with hundreds of other people).. even though, i wasnt seeing it all happen in the flesh... it was still really cool.. to be within a few kilometres of it.. and to be watching it live... it was really nice and everyone was so into it.
after the wedding.. Victoria and Daniel went around town in a horse carraige, so people could get the chance to see them.. we set up in a spot.. we were like less than 10 metres from the road.. so we were realy close.. but we couldnt see anything cos of all the heads squished in front of us! it was kind of annoying.. we seen the tops of all the horse rider peoples who were riding ahead of teh carraige.. so we seen all these bopping heads.... but the carraige they were in was quite small so we coudnt actually see them... but ah well.. we were close.. :)
then that evening.. we met up with lots of other exchange students.
This is Megan, me and Sofi infront of some old styled boat they had in stockholm.. they were people all dressed up old fashioned and stuff aswell.. it was cool.
Today it is the longest day in Sweden... at the moment it is 11.19pm.. and it is still light outside... of course the sun is setting.. but it is still plenty light enough to see perfectly fine.. im not sure what time the sun will rise.. .but it normally is light at like 3.30 am... it makes sleeping kinda difficult sometimes.. but luckily it is summer holidays so i dont have to wake up early for school anyway!
