Norway day 6

Today we took a 50 minute bus ride and an hour plane ride to Bergen, which both felt very short. But I was tired. Kristin met us at the airport with Tobias, who is adorable! Look at pictures for proof. 

So we went home first, where I was extremely excited to take a shower and blow dry my hair. I have had a ponytail for a week and it gets uncomfortable after a while. Then breakfast, the same Norwegian style we've gotten used to (I would call it a "light lunch") and then into town! Kristin took us to the outdoor seafood market, which was pretty cool, but a little icky, just because I don't like seafood, but it was fun to watch how excited Tobias got about the lobsters. And at the end of the seafood stands came the fruit stands, where we got fresh strawberries and cherries. 

Next we stopped to look at the boats, Tobais' favorite, and his favorite word. That is one more word now that I can say in Norwegian. BOOAAAAAAT. BOAAAAAT. BOAAT. 

We took a tram on a track to the top of one of the mountains, or hills, I'm not sure which to call them, but judge for yourself- I took pictures- and stopped for a while at the top to look at the view. Which was great. Hiking down was slightly less great, because it was a lot higher than it seemed. So it took awhile. And when we got back, I needed a nap.

We ended the day at a barbecue party to celebrate the summer solstice. Today each year in Bergen people get together for barbecues and light bonfires. We saw a few plumes of smoke from where we were on the mountain. The party was really nice, everyone was very friendly, the food was excellent and so was dessert... I was excited to discover that there is an actual ice cream flavor called lemon cheesecake, because those are my favorite flavors to mix together at coldstone and mash raspberries into, and everybody thinks I'm crazy until they try it. 

Now Kristin just told me I can sleep AS LATE AS I WANT. And this time, it will be past 10:00... :)    So now before bed I will watch some tv on my computer, maybe House...
