Unbeknownst to us, we are in Stockholm in the midst of a number of major events. Unfortunately for us, we won't actually be around for any of them. The list of events includes:
- Stockholm Marathon: held last week.
- Stockholm Jazz Festival: Starts tomorrow and is actually taking place steps from our hostel. Features Kool & the Gang, Brand New Heavies, John Scofield, Wayne Shorter and Missy Elliot. However, all of these acts are performing on Saturday after we leave.
- The Royal Wedding of Princess Victoria, heiress to the throne, which is a week from Saturday.
Theoretically, we could have known all these things but unfortunately we didn't. In some ways, it's probably a good thing since we get the benefit of the excitement and buildup for all of them but none of the insanity of being here for them. That's prime rationalization right there.
It's also worth noting that we're leaving Denmark at the end of our trip one day before Prince performs at the largest pop festival in Europe. I really need to plan trips when I'm not graduating and writing a thesis from here on out.
