I officially started the move to my new house today. I took two bags of clothes there, and I am definitely getting a taxi on Monday when I move the rest! It will be a great spot though. I put my clothes away and had a few friends come over to eat our first meal there...rommegrøt! It's like Cream of Wheat with sugar, cinnamon, raisins, etc. It tasted great considering it's basically justporridgee, but I walked home and walking up hill for 30 min made me realize why you need to let your food digest before exercising.
I'm excited and am in a cleaning frenzy because tomorrow my girlfriend Alison will be coming to visit! She will be here for 9 days, so she will get a great taste of Tromsø¸ life. She'll arrive tomorrow at 3.30pm and then we are going to go to Finnkroken, the small island North of Tromsø where I went with my Peace Studies class during orientation. The picture above is from Finnkroken. Pray for sun!
I just got word that Tromsø's team won a big football (soccer) match tonight in UEFA qualifying so the rowdy fans are out! Fun stuff. A beautiful night up North. Hope all is well down South.

Enjoy Norway. Var Sa God.

WOW! I had a big smile on my face when I read that you savored some rommegrot! It was (and still is) a favorite dish that my Grandma Lund made every Christmas. We eat it with sugar, butter and cinnamon... and we NEVER walk afterwards. In fact I think that's against Norge law! HA HA! We are enjoying reading of your adventures and looking at photos!
Love and hugs from Farmington...
