Quality Hotel Skaergarden Hote Langesund

Landed at Torp Airport on time and made the short bus trip to Larvik, a town famous for Thor Heyerdahl - a scientist and explorer who sold across the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean in reed boats, to prove contact could have occured between the major civilisation in man's early history. The first thing to do on any trip is find the tourist information office and find out what part of the lonely planet is out of date. On this ...

... I had to see. He turned off the main road so I could get some photos of it. Then he took us into an older part of the town across an ancient bridge. I enjoyed this but wondered what the cab trip would cost. I told him that we probably better get on to the train station. I then noticed that he turned the meter off. The return trip to the train station cost a mere $35. The cab driver enjoyed calling Bruce ...

I saw the northern lights for the first time tonight! It was so cool! They were this soft green pulsing sort of movement that just floated around and danced just over the tree tops. It's so much cooler to see it in real life than it is on TV! Now, I just need to see a Norwegian moose and I will have seen all the things I was hoping to see before leaving. Then again, maybe I should save the moose sighting for another trip back to visit. I arrived here at Joe's ...

... were delicious. After we finished eating we cleaned up. I actually went to the bathroom in the wilderness. Then the whole class got together and we played some games. Overall it was a good experience. My friends and I are planning on doing it again, but we will spend the night in a tent. So then the weekend came and I went to my choir. On Saturday I watched my brother and sister's gymnastic ...

Hey, again, I'm at work, so I must keep this short. Time has flown by and it's my last day here. I wrote an entry offline about it last night that i'll post later. Tonight I pack up my stuff and head to Oslo with Jo-Petter to scope out the city and meet up with the other PLU students on Wednesday. I think I'll be in Hamar by Friday or Saturday. I might even have internet by Sunday! No promises. Anyway, I'm happy and healthy. More later!

... me stay with them, but unfortunately, nothing seems exciting enough. I thought about trying to make a card, but that just seems lame at this point. Perhaps I will wait and send them something from Hamar. I am sad to be leaving. I think I will miss work the most. I know I'm going to miss using sign language. I've been joking a little about how hard it's going to be to JUST use Norwegian without signs. I definitely ...

Hi! I'm at work right now, so this will be very short. We had a storm on Thursday...maybe it was Friday...anyway, we had a storm, and the phone and Internet have been out at the house. I've written a bit off-line, so I'll try to post it as soon as the Internet gets back ...

Ahhhh! I just lost my entire entry! Ok, here we go again for the second time... After helping to clean up from the party a little bit, and reading a lot, Ivar and I set off in the late afternoon for a hike. We stopped by a stav church first, the Høyjord stavkirke which was built around 1150 and is the oldest building I've seen. It's weird to think that it was around before the black plague wiped out 1/3-2/3 of the Norwegian ...

... swim so it's semi-controversial. The report started by showing two naked guys sitting together on a rock at the edge of the water with their backs and rear ends towards the camera. Joe had asked about the censorship of music on the radio earlier, so I pointed out that naked bottoms would not be shown on American TV. A few seconds later they showed one of the guys getting ready to get in the water with a full shot of his penis ...
