@airwhale Hi! I just wanted to thank you again for your suggestions for our trip to Scandanavia.

We had a wonderful time. My favorite days were the ones spent in Norway's fjords & the day we explored the Stockholm Archipelago, like you suggested, & spent the day hiking around one of the islands. Simply magical.

I have to say it was rough returning to a country that has invested so little in public transportation. The trains & busses made travel so easy & pleasant.

I am floored and fascinated by the near-literary quality of many of the descriptions of images that people carefully craft when appending pictures to their posts on Mastodon. Some of them will reveal a detail that had escaped my attention. Others will help me understand a subtle joke I had missed. Others still are true poems. ALT are their own microblogging world that reveals itself as you hover on a picture. And I hover, and hover.
