Day three and four

So yesterday was spent pretty much entirely in transit. We took a bus to the ferry, ferried to Sweden, bus a couple of hours to yet another showroom, and then bussed to a manor house for dinner and then 3 more hours of bussing to Stockholm. It was a lot.

Today was a little more relaxed. We stayed in Sweden the whole day visiting yet more showrooms. This is beginning to wear a little thin on me. I appreciate the opportunity to travel but I feel like I am not seeing anything or learning much. I mean, how many showrooms can one get into before they just start to blend together?

We did have the opportunity to see an interesting library today designed by Asplund in the 1930's but that accounted for maybe 1.5 hours.

After the library, and a quick browse of the museum, we all headed to the old city for dinner. We had a genuine Swedish meal of meatballs. Just like at Ikea!

I'm beginning to tire of this whole travel study thing. I do not like travelling in a pack, and I do not like being disallowed to wander and absorb a city. I feel like they could accomplish the same thing we have been doing by giving us a series of lectures. That way, I wouldn't have had to pack all my belongings up again. And I know the standard response is going to be to make the most of it and I am. But honestly, this whole trip is dissolving into an endless string of factories, showrooms and chapels.

and looking at the itinerary, there is no sign of it stopping.

Tomorrow night I will be on the ferry to Finland so I will not have access, but let me fill you in now on what I'm doing.

That should suffice.
