This is one of my longer trips to Uppsala and I’ll be spending two nights away instead of the usual one. Though it’s probably less fun for those at home when I’m away for longer, it’s easier for me in a lot of ways not to travel two days in a row. For the past few weeks I’ve been devoting Wednesdays to the archives in Uppsala, but today I decided to go into Stockholm and see what I can find at the Nordic Museum’s archives. They have a vicarage archive encompassing nearly all the vicarages in Sweden, so I’m hopeful that I can find something useful there. <\/p>\n
Those who know me well know that I’m not terribly fond of Stockholm, but it does have its good points (Pizza Hut!). Actually it’s a lovely city, but all the people and the subway and the paying over a buck to use the toilet at the train station take away a great deal from its charm. Plus, I have a truly terrible sense of direction — I got lost just the other day in my own tiny town — and I always find myself entirely off course when trying to navigate Stockholm’s streets. I’m just really not a city person at all (though, inexplicably, I LOVE Los Angeles). I know it’s lazy and environmentally irresponsible, but I’d much rather just hop in my car, on my own timetable, and go where I need to go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
