"the day after"

Ok...good morning...it's Sunday and we are heading for Linkoping. But let me get everyone caught up from friday.

Friday morning started with us determined to use the public transportation system....we headed out with our maps searching for the train station which turned out to be easy....until we actually boarded and had to figure out where to get off the train...

Well....after several trips and changing trains we made it to downtown stockholm....but I had to take a picture of this sign from the subway...
I must say, Stockholm is absoutely beautiful! Here are a couple of pictures from around the city...



It wasn't long after this when the excitement began....more like fear!! When missy fainted...the people standing around were so helpful and kind.  We made it to the hospital via ambulance....although she didn't get to hear the funny eruopean siren.. The staff was great....then missy insulted the doctor!! hahahaha Yes...the very surgeon that was going to stitch her up!!

She got to stay overnight in the hospital...I was not allowed to stay with her but fortunately the hospital was only a block away from the hotel.  Her room was very sparce...no TV and all the magazines were in swedish..go figure!!
The funny part...the only thing on the wall was a clock that sounded like something from Edgar Allen Poe....wasn't there a poem about a clock in the wall???  I was in a nice soft hotel room with a TV!!

Ok....here's the best part...wait for it....wait for it...we spent the entire day saturday in the hotel room watching the 2 english channels on the TV!! Missy still had "jello" head so we just took it easy....got to see some of the marathon passing thru town and ate pizza.

This morning "jello" head is more like "pudding" today...getting better..  We are heading out and will update everyone later....
