Nyhavn, beautiful seaside area of the city

Sorry it has been so long since I have updated, I was gone all weekend, school has been picking up, and my internet has been in and out all week.  I had a wonderful weekend in Norway, we were expecting the cruise boat to be pretty crappy because of the amount of money we paid, but it was a legit cruise boat with restaurants, shops, clubs, pool and hot tub, etc.!  A lot of other kids from DIS went so it was awesome to make some new friends. 

Oslo is a lot cooler than I expected.  It was weird because we got off of the boat in an industrial area and the weather was terrible and no one was around, and we were a little discouraged and kind of just wanted to get back on the boat.  All of the sudden we turned a corner and there was a huge, beautiful walking street that was literally packed with people.  There was some sort of fair going on and booths everywhere, mostly environmental organizations (yay).  The sun came out and it was seriously the most beautiful day.  We got back on the boat and went in the hot tub on deck and watched the stunning coastline pass by and the sun set.  Anyway, it was the coolest thing ever.  I want to be back there!

 

I can't go anywhere this weekend because I have a Nordic Mythology fieldtrip on Saturday.  It is to a Viking Museum which sounds pretty awesome but I am a little bummed because I had to back out of my Sweden boat and canoe tour.  Bummer!  But I have a lot of homework to do this weekend so it's probably for the best.  The weather has suddenly turned beautiful again after a pretty gray week last week, so I am trying to soak it up before it is gone for the rest of the year!

Roomies for the weekend: Jill, John, Will and I
