So I now know that Stockholm is an archipelago. An archipelago (i/ɑrkɨˈpɛləɡoʊ/ ark-i-pel-ə-goh), sometimes called an island group, is a chain or cluster of islands.

Fits on the Road: Running in Stockholm
We drove to Stockholm from Gothenburg on Friday, stopping for a quick venture into the town of Granna. Granna wasn't mentioned in any of our guide books, but one of the people at Volvo suggested that we stop there to buy some polkagris. What's polkagris?

Our first stop was the "Cosmica Boutique", where you can find "world finds, clothing, accessories, shoes, home decorations and kids clothing." We both found several items that we would Continue Reading
