This is Oslo, where I spent most of my time with my relatives, Annbjorg & Lars.
Oslo's Statue Garden
Goofus like to cover himself in bronze and throw a temper tantrum; Gallant likes to experience culture through the visual arts.
The famous tower of people crawling all over each other.
the NFL's top infant draft picks
outside of the Central Station in Oslo
Lars
a major shopping area in downtown Oslo
I believe this is an important hotel...
Parliament
Karl Johann Street
The Nobel Prize place.... I know that's not the official name. :)
the ferry we took to the Fram and Viking Museums
It was rather cold outside, so I really felt no need to escape the boat.
The Fram Museum--This boat went the to the North and South Poles.
The Viking Museum
The "Tunnel" Line/Train
Now, I know someone can eat a meal "on the run," but the first thing I thought of when I saw this store was someone on the run from the law. Fugitives need gasoline and snacks too.
Fanta being politically incorrect.
a small shopping mall in the train station
This is how insane people stay physically fit.
a troll guarding the gift shop in front of the ski museum
Some kids start skiing at a very young age; some just pose for pictures.
These skis are hundreds of years old.
These ones are not.
climbing up the tower to the jump
Cognac and bobsledding--not a mix I would advocate...
a sweet lunch at a fancy konditeri in Oslo
dinner with my former roommates
a snowy road in the mountains
an old mountain farm town that has been restored and recreated

the view from Annbjorg & Lars's cabin
late-night waffles--some with cloudberries and apple jelly--others with Norwegian brown cheese
the entrance to the WWII Resistance Museum--This museum was about all the Norwegians who opposed and undercut the Nazi occupation of Norway by committing "illegal" acts like distributing secret newspapers, refusing to teach Nazi ideas in the classroom or training soldiers to hinder Nazi troop movement or prevent further weapons development.

Hi Suzanne,
All those photos from Norway brought back memories. We have seen most of the places that you visited.
We were in Lillehammer, too. Did you know that the farm where my great grandfather (your great great great) was born is just north of Lillehammer in a town called Ringebu. When Grandpa and I were there in 1990 the son of one of Dad's cousins took us up to the farm and we met the people who live there now. We went back to the 1700's and found a common ancestor. When we were in Lillehammer they were getting ready for the Olympics.
You certainly are having a wonderful time.
Love, Grandma
