Scandinavia day 9

Day 9 began with a tour of the State house . Because it was on the way between our hotel and Gamla Stan, we walked past this place a million times so I took lots of pictures...
Here's a view of the State house from the ferry ride we took the previous day.







The three crowns represent the three Scandinavian countries...















View from inside the courtyard...













This is inside the buidling, and this area is where they have the Nobel prize winners' dinner. Except for the Peace Prize, which happens in Oslo, for some reason.


pictures inside the building didn't really come out, but here's just a few.






I loved these black pillars and the ceiling was painted in a very Scandinavian blue design.




after the tour, we looked around the city a bit more. Here are some pictures and I have no idea what they are...








a sign for ice cream that says "An ice cream makes you happy!"


After all this, we went to the airport, and split some meatballs. (No need to say they were Swedish meatballs, since we were in Sweden.)

and had a pastry...




Saw this display for the book "One Day" and decided to take a picture just for the heck of it.







Back in Copenhagen for the end of the trip.....

Beauiful. I get tired thinking how tired you could get walking around all these places.

Ice cream does, indeed, make me happy.
