Family moment

So, thank you SJ for free internet on the train again.  Public transport in Sweden is so commuter and irregular -traveller friendly.  For non-Swedes, most of the signage is in English as well as Swedish and, of course, everyone can help you in both languages.  The train is on time and well organized -- right down to telling you the order of the cars on the train before it comes into the station.  This one even has a bistro on board, so I think I will avail myself of a coffee later.

So it was about 22 hours with Richard and Tova Elise.  What a darling!  She is talking up a storm and at this point a majority seems to be in Swedish.  I say 'seems to be' because there were some phrases/sentences that neither Rich nor I recognized.  We played outside and inside both days -- playdo, indoor cycling and outdoor riding.  We were at the park up the path and she certainly remembered Underdoggies.  Of course it would be nicer to see her more regularly, but these found opportunities are wonderful and she is at the stage where she remembers who I am from one visit to the next.  Thanks so much, Richard and Jennie for the opportunity to spend time with you and your little sweetie.

Back to the ship and the remaining ports of call. The night life of Stockholm may be great as well as the 300th voyage celebration that happened on board last evening, but for me -- a certain two-year old trumps them all!
