Oslo

Hello out there!!  How was your day/night?  Please don't think it was ordinary... because I've brought all of you with me here to Norway.  Most of you slept on the plane; it was an overnight 7 hour 17 min flight.  We arrived easily and safely at 9:30AM local time.

Now before we get into Oslo, the capital of Norway, I'd like to take just a moment to get everyone on the same page.  There were a few questions before we left.  Yes, I am physically traveling alone. No, I do not know anyone in Norway. And yes, there are no rules. If you want to view the basic itinerary just visit the interactive map. (This is NOT a tour or tour group)  And finally, whenever I use the word WE it means YOU and I. This is a fun opportunity for you to remove any cobwebs from your imagination.

So here we are in Oslo, Norway.  It's a very diverse, European City that lies surrounded by either hills and yonder mountains, or the lovely fjord waters and it's islands. Oslo Harbor  We took a rambling walk this afternoon (you can't get lost) and found many of the same things you can find in any charming, waterside city. We only have one full day here (tomorrow), so I've decided to make you a small movie as my project.  I really don't feel like visiting museums and mansions with just one day.  With a movie you can form your own impressions, and this trip is really about the people anyway.

Here are a few striking observations:  It is really Quiet here. The people seem very Polite. And of course it comes as no surprise that it is very Clean.  It appears that everyone is outdoors... and as a general rule they are utterly attractive and have very nice shoes. (smiles again)  

Oslo: afternoon conversation

Now lets say a small prayer for good weather tomorrow.

PS, It's 8:30 PM and the sun is not even close to the horizon!
