Research trip: Sweden and U.S. 9 & 10

This is a double blog after a day off for travel from Sweden to The U.S.. the transfer day started early with a 4am taxi ride to get an early morning flights nice taxi too! 

The trip was Stockholm to London and onto New York. It was about 20 hours from waking up to arriving or my hotel. 

Upon arriving it was a quick walk up to Times Square which was totally packed and totally crazy! 

After a very long sleep it was up and at me for a big day. First it was breakfast. I went for a walk to find a good diner when I came across a Bourke Street Bakery. So I had to grab a coffee and croissant. 



After breakfast it was over to a funky kind of church over in Greenpoint. One of the ministers is a chaplain with FDNY. We then went on a tour of some fire stations, getting Italian ice and eventually to the scattering of ashes of a recently deceased firefighter. Needles to say it was an interesting day. 

It was then a New York drive to have a really nice dinner with a moral injury academic and clinician at one of New York’s most iconic restaurant “Tavern on the green” . Really good Sunday.
