Walk along Aker River

We had a great tour last week along Aker River. I loved the bird hotel and waterfalls. Our tour guide was Heinz.

Jotunheimen!

My friends Megan, Jen, and I decided to go hiking this last weekend to Jotunheimen. It was such a blast and the weather was amazing. A perfect day for hiking and amazing pictures.

Fourth of July in Oslo

I had no idea that I was going to have such a great fourth of July in Norway. There was an entire festival and it was so much fun. There were burgers, cars, and baseball. It was a vrey American fourth of July.

My first few days...

The Viking Ship Museum, Vigeland Park, and the Norwegian Opera & Ballet with my roomie, Megan.

Where I live...

I made it to Oslo! Here are some pictures of where I live, Blindern Dorm. It was built in the 1920s. Isn't it cute?

The path to the North
