I just came home from a very nice weekend in Stockholm with my parents and my older sister. Me, my mother and my sister ran a sort of race called "Girlsmile" (when I say mile I mean 10km, not the other rubbish XD) which is a race that's for ladies, and ladies only. This year a bit over 30 000 girls took part in the race and I had the privilege to be one of them, I had lots of fun and surprised myself with running 8 out of 10 km (surprising considering I've only run 2,5 km before) in a (for me) impressive speed. We had the time to do other things too, we took the chance to visit the Thiel gallery that has quite a collection of both Munch paintings and Zorn paintings, we went to the movies to see "midnight in paris" (quite a lovely movie, I adored it but I am a big fan of 20's Paris) and enjoyed many good meals.

Here we have the Thiel gallery, wonderful building that used to be the residence of businessman Ernest Thiel. The many valuable paintings inside are parts of his vast art collection.

The grande couch at the Thiel gallery.. It wasn't even comfortable to sit in 8D

The garden at the gallery was wonderful, when running the race we ran past here so the surrounding nature of the track we ran was gorgeous. We ran around a peninsula called "djurgården" which is a district of Stockholm, it was very beautiful out there and I asked myself why I hadn't spent any time there before!

 

 

We also visted Rosendal garden café which is a beutiful café out at djurgården where you can eat some seriously delicious food and sweets. The surroundings are beautiful and they grow their own crops and flowers.. I loved it.

One night we stayed in the Old Town and you just gotta love the atmosphere there. Let's just say I have, for the moment, fallen in love with Stockholm. The architecture and the museums.. Not the people that reside there haha ;)
