A Stockholm summer may just give you the syndrome.
"'You want to eat here?' The maitre D looks me up and down. It's a Friday afternoon in June, I'm drenched in sweat, wearing shorts and sneakers and look a little shabby. At least there's a collar on my shirt. He reluctantly leads me to a table with a decent view of the dock but far enough way from the regulars. Geez, these people are a fashion catalog, blonde, fit and perfectly pressed. There's a reason stereotypes form into stereotypes."

CITIES VISITED:
MUST DO:
FAVORITE MEMORY:
Stockholm
Fjäderholmarna
See the king's writing room at the Royal Palace.
Visit Skeppsbron Street in Gamla Stan and the Nobel Prize museum.
Take a boat tour of the archipelago and a day trip to the island of Fjäderholmana.
Having my first Swedish meatballs that weren't served at Ikea--and yes they were fantastic.
Super clean and walkable, trains not hard to navigate.
My first and only foray into Scandinavia did not disappoint. The warmth of summer opened up Stockholm and Sweden in a way which is not typical. It's a much different place when cold and I'm not sure I would've done as well in frigid temps. But Sweden in the summer--it's golden like the yellow in their flag.
