Today we decided we needed to do some more exploring of Rosendal! As a group, we are all pretty outdoorsy (well, I wouldn’t always call myself that, but in a place this beautiful, it’s impossible to not be!) so we have decided we want to spend as much time during the day outside as we can! We put on our hiking gear and set out to see the Baroniet and go on a walk. We walked for about 6 miles and we saw more of how beautiful this town is! We walked up through the mountains and took about a million pictures. Here are a few of the pictures from our walk.
We are hoping to be able to climb a mountain and possibly go fishing while we are here! I may even have to do some running/jogging…which would be a first! But it wouldn’t be so bad if you’re running through scenery like this!
Tonight we made tacos for dinner which were great! (apparently this is very popular in Norway also??) So far, it has been easy to find food that we like in the store and the fruit and vegetables are very good. We also realized that we are going to have to start getting plenty of bread and milk because with 5 of us we go through about a loaf and a liter each day. (I’m not much of a milk drinker, but everyone else is!) The bread is really good, so we eat it for almost every meal. It’s also pretty cheap, so we have decided it’s a good thing to have around!
Today we started talking about some of the things we might want to do over break. We all definitely want to travel, we just aren’t sure where. We were considering possibly staying in Norway and spending a few days in Oslo and Bergen because a couple people in my group have family from there. We think we may actually go to Bergen a different weekend instead and go to Oslo for the end of break. We have 10 days that we can travel because there is no school the week before Easter or the Monday following. We are now considering travelling to Ireland, Germany, Paris, London, or Scottland…tough decision! We are thinking that we may be able to meet up with some of the student teachers from Rome or Spain which would be a lot of fun!
Tomorrow we are planning to go to church at 11 a.m. and then spend the rest of the day relaxing and getting ready for school Monday. We are all nervous but very excited for our first day!
Two things that are great in Norway: coffee and chocolate! I will definitely be bringing some of both home. We have a coffee shop down the street that has great café mochas, but we also have our own coffee pot and we love the coffee from the store.
Ha Deg Bra = good bye!
