Today we waked all around the city, spending most of the time in Gamla Stan (old town) and the pedestrian streets there and into the city. Gamla Stan is where you find the royal palace, and right across the bridge from parlaiment and the opera house. We were lucky enough to meet our friend, Debbie Skinner, at the opera house and went to the open air market and restaurant fair for lunch. Debbie works for Yamaha as the person who schedules and manages the piano teachers for Crystal Cruises. Had dinner down a small street in Old Town. Also, yesterday was graduation day for the high school students. Tomorrow starts a 5-day span of religious and natioanl holidays. All of the students were on trucks, completely drunk, and being driven throughout the city yelling and partying with loud music booming from big sound systems on each truck. It is hilarious to watch and apparently quite the tradition. We even saw a young lady peeing in the street with no cares about anyone seeing her or anything. Then she got back on a truck and kept going!
