Peace, Love, and Lutefisk: Adventures i Norge

After waiting 3 months, today was the big day: we saw and felt the sun! It was crazy! At about 11.30am, I was walking down the hall of our peace building and I saw people gathering. It was seriously like aliens had landed, everyone was just standing possessed, staring out the window at the sun. We went outside and even though it was -10 degrees Celsius, we acted like it was summer with our arms outstretched absorbing the rays. A beautiful day. It was incredible how cheery everyone was as well. Such a perfect day.

On top of the sun, we were also treated to a great evening of Northern Lights! Green lines were zig-zaging across the clear sky while quarter moon just hung right above the mountains. A good day to be in Tromsø, if you can stay warm enough! Tomorrow we're going to enjoy our newly found friend by going sledding. Probably while wearing sunglasses.
