Today we ate another traditional breakfast at Christina's, then Ingrid whisked us off to the mountains for a hike. We spent about an hour climbing and looking at the view from the top, which was very pretty. There was cotton growing in some places, which I was excited to see because it reminded me of a page from my favorite Norwegian picture book about trolls that I used to read when I was little. And which I also can't find, so Hege says she will take me to the bookstore here in Trondheim tomorrow, because they will surely have it.
At Ingrid's, we met her parents, who were very welcoming and her mom made us lunch, which was basically the same as every homemade breakfast and lunch we'd had so far... good, but I couldn't live on this for more than a few days, there are no spices and nothing is hot! (Well, she did serve warm elk meat, but I didn't want to eat it.) There are open sandwiches usually, with pieces of cheese, tomato, cucumber, and pepper. And always tea or coffee.
After an hour ride to Hege's, (Ingrid drove us again, she is so nice, driving us everywhere!) we all had dinner together, and I am way over-stuffed. Along with the bag of chocolate Christina gave me before I left, I will not be hungry for awhile.
And now we are at Hege's, and I'm very happy because we can relax all we want and we are just sitting around with the tv and our laptops and books and I don't have to run all over the place! And here is very pretty, it is an apartment that she decorated... I guess all the houses were decorated by the people living in them too, but this seems cooler because I will be living in something like it next semester.
Keep checking the link from the last post, I will be putting on more pictures every day!
