Other Happenings in Stockholm

It has been a busy spring.  Twelve us from work ran in the VarRuset 5K .  It was an amazing experience.  It is a race for women only and I was astounded by the number of women who ran it....thousands.  It was a the university and we ran around a path through a wooded area and the edge o a lake, with cows as spectators.  A perfect evening to run, warm but with a breeze.  Afterwards they gave each group a picnic to enjoy along with a bag of samples from their sponsors.

I also went to Eskilstuna to visit my friend Zhilia who use to live with me.  It is a beautiful little town about 90 minutes outside Stockholm.  We had a good visit.  On Sunday we went to visit her aunt and she drove us around some of the sights.  They have a small lock for boats in the town.  Also a large marina and public beach complete with free changing rooms and washroom.  Free bathrooms are a novelty in Sweden.
