Stockholm day 1

We were extremely fortunate to have had a private tour guide yesterday. My lifelong friend, Brian Lindberg, once lived in Stockholm and provided child care for a Swedish family. One of the kids, Vincent Hashmi, is now a 30 year old opera singer living here in Stockholm with his girlfriend, Paulina Pfeiffer, also an opera singer. Vincent and Paulina walked us all around the city, seeing many of the city's sites and learning their history. They also took us to their apartment for champagne. They have also arranged for us to see La Boheme tonight. Unfortunately, though Paulina is in this production, she is not performing tonight as she has an audition in Germany today. Today more sightseeing and maybe some photos will follow.
