October 2025 (2/3) Dump featuring Scandanavia
Yes, hello, welcome to my blog about the first two-thirds of October 2025. I went on a Mississippi Dinner Cruise and then I went to two Scandinavian countries. First, let's start at home. For my grandmother's birthday, my brother and I took her on a cruise on the Mississippi River. I say cruise, but we really just did laps between the bridges. It was still nice through. There was good food and good music. And the bridges are very nicely lit up at night. Then, after much work and cleaning and preparing, I went to Sweden and Denmark for Fall Break. I started in Stockholm, and the city was very nice. I stayed with a friend from college and did the usual tourist activities (Old Town Walking Tour, Abba the Museum, etc.). One pleasant surprise was the spa/baths. I wanted to get a Swedish massage because duh, and I was also interested in the Nordic spa culture that I had started learning about in Iceland. So, I booked a massage and a three hour timed entry into a spa with thermal bath...
