I was thinking about the date this morning and realized it is the 6th anniversary of the day I left for Norway to study abroad back in 2006. I think I have posted about this in previous years so I am not going to do a full photo montage. I just looked back at my photos and cannot believe how long it has been since I was that fresh faced, beer swilling, carefree 23 year old whose jeans were always loose. Ahh, those were the days.
Here I am with the most famous statue at Vigeland Park. Then, I thought it was a funny statue. Now, I think, "That is what my kid looks like about 50% of the time!"
Aaahhh...beautiful Western Norway. It is hard to believe my ancestors, who I have discovered came from places all over the country, watched views like this as they sailed away to America.
I WILL go back there someday. Who knows when, but I will. And I will still remember how to get to my favorite places in Oslo and be able to act as a tour guide to whoever is lucky enough to join me! I could do so now if someone would buy me the ticket! Anyone? ANYONE?
