And yet more photos

This is a bank there in downtown Oslo. I thought it was cool to see the modern look amongst the traditional buildings.
This is another road...most people walk everywhere in their stylin, but warm clothes.
This guy is wondering why I am taking a picture of him. Wasn't necessarily taking a picture of him, but rather the downtown scenery.
This shows the operahouse from another angle down in the harbor.

More Norway Pictures

This is outside the hotel. It is hard to see, but the operahouse is through the trees. Also, the building with the pillars is their version of the Stock Exchange.










This is the room where we met all week long. These meetings are interesting as there are people from so many different backgrounds that it takes a while for everyone to come to the same common understanding and use of language.









The screen.













This was my room. Pretty small, but it worked. The bed was small, but very comfy.














This was the greeting card on my pillow....pretty funny.

Norway















This is me closing my eyes. This is how all of the streets look downtown. They are quite narrow, and people seem to drive just as fast as they do in the states.














This is the capital building in Oslo. It was pretty cool!














This is our 'technical working group.' My look reminds me of my 9th grade school picture....not my best looks in these pictures! There were people from Sweden, Norway, Italy, Germany, and the US.














This is me outside of the chocolate store. I brought home a bunch of chocolate to share with everyone, but unfortunately when the family got a hold of things, it didn't make it out.


'Hello Everybody!'

Well, I thought I would post some pictures of my trip to Norway. Wow, John's experiences are hard to top!

As everyone knows, I went to Norway for a week. It was a great trip and I really enjoyed it. I went to a modern ballet (I should have some pictures up of that soon). As you can see in these pictures, I like to close my eyes now in pictures.

The city was beautiful and I really liked the people. There was something almost magical about being in the place where your ancestors came from (yes, I know we are from Scotland and Denmark, but they are all in that general area). I couldn't believe how many people looked exactly like Aimee and Mom.

As you can see in the picture, my room was really small. The bed looked about the size of Samantha and Logan's beds, but it was surprisingly really comfortable. I can't wait for our trip to Europe with everyone.
