Oslo bound

Leaving Stockholm after a brief but pleasant visit. Saw Dylan and made
a couple of new friends. Plus saw a few from previous trips.

Stockhom is a beautiful city. It has not suffered the destruction of
so many other European cities during wars.

We found several small cafes that were inviting and warm.

Now on the train heading to Oslo. One problem, no hotel in Oslo.
Hopefully will find something.

LARS

Like A Rolling Stone

Guitar

Bob plays guitar on lay lady lay

Made it in - Stockholm Globen

We are waiting for the show to begin. First Dylan concert in a while.
Ready to have some fun. Hockey/basketball arena.

Not sold out but only nose bleed seats for sale. Able to get a ticket
and not over pay too much outside.

Selling lots merchandise. Saw 3 or 4 stands and hawkers standing out
in the crowd with glossy programs.

At least tonight we avoided snow.

Berne

A shot of the room at Bern's where the Never Ending Tour started 2009.
Beautiful room. Stance encore. Cry A While, LARS, Forever Young.

Snow was falling and Stockholm was beautiful.

Berns

The restaurant in the hotel attached to the club where Dylan will play
his first show of 2009.

It is a very cool place. Doesn't look good for a ticket but you never
know.

Had a glass of champagne, very elegant.

Stockholm

Sunday morning in Sweden. Nice to think that Bob and the boys are in
town and getting ready to play.

Beautiful Katie

Having breakfast with my best girl beforethe trip.

Foundation

Getting ready to pour walls

Four Days then off to Stockholm

via Chicago. Getting ready for the trip every day now. Pile builds of things to bring and stuff to cut out, i.e. pages of a travel book on Scandinavia of places I won't visit this trip. Every page counts. Have a really good one done by The Discovery Channel.

Trying to figure out tickets for trains and ferries. Most routes are pretty well defined but always a few change ups. Different this time in that I am buying point-to-point tickets rather than a pass. Takes a lot more planning and thought this way (which is fun). Also saves some money and makes me think about each leg.

New album announced from Dylan for April 28th. The guy just keeps doing it. Really excited that I get to make a few more stops with him.
