Svea Viking

August 11, 2002


Here we are on the viking ship. We don't know where Kevin went. We were kinda hoping that he didn't get left behind. Since we did leave him with the baby stroller and all.

Here is a view from the viking boat. It was evening so the sun was setting.

Kevin with his smoked herring. He is the only one that enjoyed the dead fish. Must be the black socks going to his head.

Here is Erin's response to the herring. It seemed to have induced a fit of dancing in Erin. Check it the Herring Dance (2.3MB quicktime movie). In all fairness, you must see Erin's version of this trip.

The Viking meal. Lamb slices, chicken (or ribs), some sausagey thing, smoked herring and root veggies.

Someone obviously stole my camera. I was playing with the herring to see if it could actually be eatible. Didn't take long for me to decide it was a no go.

Contrary to what you must be thinking. There was more to this trip then herring. I know, hard to believe. There was the water and sun and stockholm at sunset.

This is how Erin finally dealt with her fish. She had the final word and it got thrown away. We pretty much annoyed every Swede on the boat.

Here is one of the Ericsson offices in Stockholm. I had to add that just because it is their fault that we are all over here and not back in the 100degree weather in Texas. If you are curious what goes on in these offices, click here.

Swedish cross dresser. Wait. That might be the cabin boy of the ship. Well cabin boy/cross dresser. Whatever. About the same.

Al's version of the Herring Dance. This is an adaptation of Erin's dance. I guess this would be the second movement when the herring is headless.

This is a museum with a boat in it. It is the actual boat that sank. It lasted about 30 minutes when they put it out to sea. It sank in the harbor. Well the swedes were so proud of this fact that they built a museum to it. Never hear of famous Swedish Engineers do you?
