Norway in a nutshell

Currently alive, looking forward to snuggling with my pillow, and somewhat happy I'm not traveling too much in the next 3 days. Flying over Norway was gorgeous. All I could see from my grimey window were the forests. Eveywhere. But once off the plane and onto the bus heading to Oslo, I realized my precious iPhone had a "No Service" icon. Mistake number 1. Mom freaked out; her's was deciding not to work either. So, twitching on the bus, I finally mustered up the courage to ask someone to use their phone (thank God they spoke English) so we could call Midgin. Once I recieved my orders, I calmed down a steaming Myriam who still could not believe we actually left the airport without calling Midgin and had to use someone else's phone to call her! Mistake number 2. Finally we made it to Oppegård, a small village twenty minutes outside of Oslo. We found out that we had to carry three bottles of wine, a backpack full of junk, and a suitcase packed to the rim UP to Midgin's place. Mistake number 3. The long uphill walk was well worth it though, because she has a spectacular view of the forest and open area in her backyard with wine and dinner waiting.You can see how happy we were be there ;)
I met up with my amazingly sweet friend Malin who I met last year when she did a foregin exchange program at SCHS. We went to dinner to meet our new friend Camila's family who has two sons. I was not sure what to expect, since the woman is a biological engineer and her husband is also an engineer. As soon as I walked around the porch and looked through the window, I saw an attractive, tall, twenty year old with blond hair and bright blue eyes. We had loads in common. Same music, same movies, same intrests, same humor. On top of it all he was brillant! And I just couldn't help keeping a stupid-love-struck grin on my face the entire night and well throughout the next day. But of course, the fool I am did nothing about it, said nothing about it, and never saw him again. And I'm sad about that.
Days were packed in Norway, using every possible moment to do something. All day. The sun doesn't go down until 12 then rises again at 3:30 am. They were long days consiting of;
A naked man
Pouring rain/soaking wet clothes
Vikings
More rain
Hedgehogs
An ice bar (they dress you up in special clothes)
Super sunny days
Lyst
Amazing food
Bruce Sprigsteen
Slugs. Huge slugs.
Seasides
Breaking Mom's toe
Aquatics
Midgin falling and nearly breaking her arm
Christmas stores
Running to catch busses and trains
Walking up hills
Supposed Swedish parties
Muttering "takk" after asking for directions
Pretending I'm 15
and wine

I love Norway. I'm going back there one day. The country is very expensive, but then again, it provides for its people. The people are good looking. Even the bad looking people are good looking.
