Dinner at Erik’s Gondolen<\/a> with the Life Science project maanger from Business Arena Stockholm<\/a> (hey, Ylva!). Here’s the view from the restaurant<\/a>. And here’s the menu:<\/p>\n

Dill marinated salmon with crayfish tails in mustard<\/p>\n

Breast of duck with chantarelles and potato muffin, herb and garlic bouillon<\/p>\n

Apple parfait with cinnamon and sweet-pickled cherries.<\/p>\n

I violated my “don’t mix your drinks, you idiot!” rule by drinking the following in 5 hours: G&T, beer, fruity-tasting vanilla vodka concoction, red wine, two capuccinos, beer, and 4 cigarettes.<\/p>\n

But I had a nice evening, with good conversation, and I didn’t smoke NEARLY as much as this guy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The view<\/a> outside my hotel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Down the block<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The sculpture<\/a> outside an academy.<\/p>\n

One of the locals<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pedestrian walk<\/a>, on the way to dinner tonight.<\/p>\n

Take it to the bridge<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Look, kids! Parliament<\/a>!<\/p>\n
