Peace, Love, and Lutefisk: Adventures i Norge

It's been a few exciting days here as we are quickly transitioning into winter. The first big moment came last night when we looked outside at our thermometer and for the first time this fall it was at 0 degrees Celsius. That's right, freezing time! Maaike, Stian, Tsvetan, and I decided to celebrate the end of green-ness by walking on our new road to Bobo's at 11pm. That's right, the street in front of our house that has been under construction since last March is now newly paved. Just in time for a nice layer of snow (which is slowly creeping in from the mountains).

The other big event was tonight while walking home from a great international seminar about Israel and Palestine. While walking back with Stian and Tsvetan, a small green line began to show in the sky. By the time we were halfway home the northern lights were out in full force, dancing and guiding our way home. They were a very Tinker Bell-like green and served as a reminder for the beauty and cripness of the coming winter. I guess we're losing one green and replacing it with another. That's alright with me.
