For the most part G and I have been staying close to our temporary housing while M is at work. As amazing as the transportation is, I don't think either of us were adjusted enough to make that trip too often without totally wiping us out. We go on several walks during the day, exploring the different routes and trails near the apartment, occasionally we search the local grocery store but mostly we just hang out at home.
On Thursday, we got the keys to our apartment. It is going to be great! From the rumors and watching too many episodes of House Hunters International, I was expecting that we would be living in something smaller and no storage. Well M found us a great apartment. There is a closet in every room, I think G's room is actually bigger than her room back in Seattle, and built in exercise. Hopefully we will be able to move in next week but our stuff isn't scheduled to arrive in Sweden til Monday and it will take a few days for it to get through customs.

At our first look out spot, only G had a good view. She did enjoy the dancing and the clapping. (Everytime I tried to get a video she would stop.) After a while we started walking back towards to bus home and saw the rest of the parade going in the opposite decoration. It was a fun parade, very similar to the one in Seattle. I will admit that the people watching was probably the best part. It seemed that everyone old and young came out to support the parade. The cafes along the route where bursting with people enjoying the sights and sounds. 
If you noticed on the map every 7-Eleven is highlighted. They were one of the sponsors of Pride and had a drop in wedding chapel at one of their store locations. Who knew that 7-Eleven was so progressive?
Well if I had known we could have gotten married at a 7 eleven in Stockholm on pride weekend maybe our planning would have been a little different!
