First Fika

Since we were enjoying a monument to Swedish culture, Skansen, we decided to partake in a Swedish custom: fika. Fika is a Swedish verb meaning “to drink coffee and eat a bun”. Swedes will often fika 3-4 times a day. How are they all so thin?  

    

  
 

Afternoon snack

We took a ferry to Kungliga Djurgården. An island in central Stockholm that used to be the Kings hunting grounds. Now, it’s a cultural playground- museums, galleries, historical buildings, monuments, gardens, and even an amusement park. We’re headed to Skansen, the oldest open-air folk museum in the world!   

   
 

Delicious bread!

We stopped at a bakery yesterday called Bread and Salt- love it! The sweet counter girl told us this is her favorite bread- whole grain rye and wheat blend with TONS of walnuts topped with syrup and salt. Good call! The bread is earthy and just a little sweet and salty. Perfect for breakfast!
