The twilight view from our jetty on Yxlan.

For the past few days, we’ve been staying on an island called Yxlan in Stockholm’s archipelago. Robert and I are at my friend MJ’s gorgeous summer house on Yxlan and while we both have a lot of work to do, we are also enjoying ourselves. The house has an amazing water view and as I work, I can watch the sailboats go by. But by far the biggest excitement is when one of the Waxholmbolaget passenger ferries goes by. There is a ferry stop just a few houses away and every morning at 7, the boat pulls up and one of our neighbors gets in. We like to imagine that he is going into Stockholm to work. Wouldn’t that be a cool morning commute?

I like watching the sailboats go by as I write.
