NORWEGIAN FISH MARKET

| so many choices. i even tasted... WHALE |
choppin' and slicin' and cleanin'
So, Kamilla says I just HAVE to try the Oreo Cake here, only since I'm American and therefore an Oreo expert, not to expect TOO TOO much. But hey, oreo and cake and I'm in, right?? :)

| Oh I wanted one soooo much. They were so soft and warm and the deer wasn't too bad either :) |
That's right, I'm in Scandinavia and I like to wear Viking Helmets and play with trolls. =) Gotta take your perks in the dark winter when you can. Seriously though, trolls are a part of Norwegian folk lore, and nisse/gnomes/elves are just a wee bit more Danish. Not sure about Sweden/Finland yet, I'll let you know though when I track one down. I'm an expert at nisse hunting. Almost as good at finding them as I am at finding Starbucks. (that one is for you, Dad!)
RAINBOW ROW, NORWAY?
some of you might be familiar with the pastel row of carriage houses in Charleston known as Rainbow Row. It's one of Dad's favorite parts of Charleston, and I'm been searching for comparable views all over Europe. I think Bergen waterfront wins the contest--as seen below. But you'll have to let me know what you think--Chas or Bergen??
I've discovered in my time here that Norwegians might be stereotyped correctly as HAPPY. Kamilla always has a goofy and enchanting smile on her face, and it's pretty easy to capture all the time. All I can tell you is, if a Norwegian invites you out--GO. and Enjoy.

Traditional Easter dinner of Sheep Ribs and Kohlrabi mashed... Followed with Ris A'la monde :)
a night and a day at the family summer home, essentially a norwegian counterpart to SALUDA HOUSE

| Don't you wish your backyard had this view?? |
