100th Country

Today we stepped foot in Sweden, making it our 100th country! This has been a personal goal for over 25 years and one I did not think we would accomplish when I set it! So, the DrCs have been to all 50 US states, all 7 continents and now 100 countries. We are using the list of countries provided by "Century Travel" who list 321 counties on the planet. So we have only covered 1/3 of the world!

We had a short visit to Stockholm which is a beautiful city made up of islands in the largest archipelago in the world. Right now we are sailing thru that archipelago of over 3000 islands as we depart the city and head for Copenhagen. it's a cool day and it's hailing right now! Our guide said that summertime hail was quite rare.

The pictures show the American Embassy in Stockholm and the other shows some of the neat old buildings that line the waterways of the city. Who knew that Stockholm is a "Venice of the North."
