sabotabbyYikes what did LJ do? They changed it now it sucks.
Anyway, I had a few more adventures and took pictures with my decent camera instead of just my iPhone.
We have been wandering around Stockholm. Today we took the train to Gävle, known to normal people as "the place where they burn the Yule goat every year" and to Wobblies as "the place Joe Hill was born."
On a scale of one to hugely alcoholic, how bad is it that the first museum we hit was the Spritmuseum, which is half-Absolut Vodka ad, half tongue-in-cheek celebration of Sweden's drinking problem?
They have a bottle of "The End of History," which is a beer with 55% alcohol content packaged in taxidermied animals. For reasons.
Walking down Götgatan, towards what I'm assured is not a nuclear power station even though it looks like one.
Stockholm, as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
smhwpf puts it, is a total camwhore.

One section of Gävle is very pretty.
And then at the end of the street, red and black flags denoting Joe Hillgarden.
Given that Joe Hill's family burned his stuff for shame because he was executed as a murderer, this is probably not his violin and hat. Probably. But let's all pretend that it is.
sabotabby, were you actually nerdy enough to wear the Toronto Wobblies shirt that you designed?
Revolutionary selfies.
From Monteliusvagen looking across Riddarfjarden to Stockholm City Hall
Also! We went to see Jimmy's Hall, the new Ken Loach film. Highly recommended. It's basically like Footloose but with Irish communists instead of Kevin Bacon.
