Lindy-hopping by the lake

On the way back from rock-climbing, I ran into fellow Lindy-hopper Lee on the subway. She said she was going dancing at the outdoor dance pavilion in Storra Skuggan. I had noticed the dance floor last weekened while walking around Norra Djurgården with Jenni.

Well I wasn't really dressed for dancing, but I decided to tag along anyway. I'm glad I did because it was a lot of fun. I saw several friends there, including Catrin, pictured with me above.

A walk on Norra Djurgården


_MAL3275.jpg, originally uploaded by Michael A. Lowry.

Sunday morning I met up with my friend Jenni for a walk on Norra Djurgården. We met some equestrians, some sheep, a few geese, and a couple of cows along the way. It was a part of the city I had never visited, and it's quite lovely.

By the way, the story of how Jenni and I met is interesting and it involves my brother Ethan. Three years ago, when Ethan visited me here in Stockholm, we took a walk on Södermalm to see the lovely views of Kungsholmen and Gamla Stan from the cliffs overlooking Södermalarstrand. At one of the scenic overlooks, I asked a couple of girls there to take a picture of us. We chatted a bit with the girls and I exchanged contact info with them. I have kept in touch with both of them, and one of them is Jenni.

Jenni is busy writing her senior thesis for college, so she doesn't often have much time for socializing. So I was glad to get a chance to visit with her. Here are all the photos from our walk.
