Today we went to Skansen.

Skansen is an open-air museum with old buildings from all over Sweden (and possibly parts of Norway), traditional craft stuff, and Nordic Animals. The first two are cool. The last are generally largely invisible, because the typical examples are things like wolves and lynx and other things that are seriously not fond of being seen.

(But we did see a lynx today. And some really unimpressed-looking baby elk. Elk: they're made of legs. And really smelly.)

Ooooh, we went to Skansen a few years ago. And there were wee baby lynx kittens playing, so adorable. And bear cubs! As for elk, most baby animals are cute (there were some sweet boar piglets striped like humbugs) but not the elk, alas for it.
