I experienced my very first Salinger moment on this trip. To explain, Nine Stories has accompanied me to destinations far and wide - Mexico, El Salvador, UK, numerous US destinations; it is my go-to travel book. It is with me now. The title of this blog is from one of those stories (anyone know? hint - it has the longest title).
So anyhoo I'm wandering Sodermalm and stumble across this - the inside was much less impressive having likely been Lutherized, but it was warm - and full of the melodic voices of children! (Sorry Maggie.) They looked to be middle schoolers - 5-9 grade or so for us - and they were stunning! While I did not run into any of them at a nearby tea shop afterwards, it was a lovely moment.
Just Before the War with the Eskimos?
