– and that’s my birthday! A lot of Swedish people don’t
work on this day. I’m going to start the day with a tour of
Stockholm’s famous places. At noon, I’m going to Gamla
Stan (the “Old Town”). It is very interesting there, and it has
cafés, restaurants, and stores. I’m going to go shopping,
and then I’m going to eat in a nice restaurant. Also, there
are many museums in Stockholm! After lunch, I’m going to
visit the ABBA Museum! Then I’m going to take a boat taxi
to one of Stockholm’s islands. That evening, I’m going to
do something really fun because it’s Midsummer. I’m going
to find a place to go dancing. At 4 a.m., when I go back to
my hotel, the sun will be out! Now that’s different!
