Day 66: Lake Allsop

Hidden in the High Unita Wilderness there is this pristine mountain valley.  To get to this valley you had to hike up this steep hill after hiking the 8.5 miles into to Lake Allsop.  But the view was totally worth it.  I love the huge rocks to walk on.  There is something special about being able to hike and see the beauty of this world where few humans ever will be.  I also loved the mountain goat leg that we found.  Rev said that wolves had gotten to the live goat and then just left a leg.  Pretty awesome!

Day 65: Stockholm

This really cool, really tall, really old church is in the center of Gamla Stan (Old Town) Stockholm.  The island is called Riddarholmen and what you can see is the Riddarholmen church.  Link to Wikipedia article
I will say what the article says anyways.  The church was built in the 13th century and probably is the oldest building around.  It was not open when I went.  Later, I found out that a lot of Swedish Monarchs have been buried there. Official Link

Day 64: Riga

This picture was taken at the top of St. Peter's church in the center of Old Town of Riga, Latvia.  In the distance you can see the river that I don't know the name of.  I do know what a couple of the buildings are though.  There is a building in the back that looks like it is 4 airplane hangers all connected.  That was the flea market.  It was pretty awesome.  I bought a sweet roll there along with some magnets.  That was only part of it though.  To the left side of the structure there was this open air market.  It was pretty awesome.
Another thing in this picture that I know is right there also.  It is the bus station.  Not to be confused with the train station.  In some cities they are in the same spot.  But not here.  The bus station is that white building right by the market but just a little bit closer.
The last thing I can recognize is a mall.  That is across the hill from the bus station and then across the road.  It is the grey building with the 4 big posters on the side that only really look like 2 posters.  They are actually movie advertisements.  Skyfall, Twilight, Hotel Translyvania, and then some horror movie I think.   I can't actually see what it is.

Day 63: Rovaniemi

This classic picture was taken in Rovaniemi, Lapland, Finland near Santa Village.  This picture is actually of the entrance of the Husky Park.  In the middle of December the snow has fallen and none of it has melted.  The interesting thing was that the local people were saying that that year there wasn't very much snow fall.  Which was unfortunate because not all of the dog sled runs were open yet.  But they were really expensive anyways.

Day 62: Vernal

This picture is by no means unique.  But I still like it.  I like the phenomenon of the rainbow.  But having the double rainbow makes it all the so much cooler.  A double rainbow could really happen anywhere but this particular double rainbow happened some where near the city of Vernal.

Day 61: Stockholm

As alluded to a couple days ago, it was at this spot in Stockholm, Sweden that Jess went up to the Swedish guy and asked him if she could have one of the posters that he was taping up.  He ended up giving her one.  It was really funny also.

Since this was a place to remember I decided to take a picture by myself, which I have much practice with, and with Katie.  Obviously I don't have as much practice because it isn't as good of a picture.

Day 60: Vilnius

This picture was taken on the balcony at Jimmy Jumps Hostel in Vilnius, Lithuania.  The hostel was in the middle of Old Town.  It was really cool to see the houses together but I didn't feel claustrophobic.  It was cool.  It also helped that I didn't have a car and was just walking around.  Now looking at the picture it kind of looks like a place that James Bond or some other action actor would jump on top of chasing after some other guy.
