SLL,

Just saw Pirates the other day and it's definitely tops in my books this Summer.

If you like incredible big wooden ships, get yourself over to Stockholm some day and visit the Vassa Museum in Stockholm. One of the most incredible sights you (or any other wooden ship lover) will ever set eye upon. Until I saw it myself, I never believed a co-worker who had told me that it was worth the trip to Stockholm all by itself. It is. (But if you do go, be there around the time of the Summer Solstice - which is an incredible party time in Sweden (and probably elsewhere). All night, well-behaved, partying - with many of the locals dressed in period costumes). The beer's expensive (taxes!) but the reindeer and other local foods are fabulous.

Regards.
