Nesodden!



I arrived in Oslo! And after a good wander around the city with Kirsten, we went back to where she is being an exchange student in Nesodden. Nesodden is absolutely charming. It's across the fjord from Oslo so you have to take a ferry (or a looong bus ride) to get there so it feels rural but Oslo is right there if you want to be in a big city.

I went for a run this morning to check out the area. As recommended I ran down past the church to the shore then I ran down the shoreline on the road... which was a one lane dirt road and turned out to really just be a series of very long driveways. I finally figured out that there was a little footpath along the shoreline and that if you followed the blue dots you didn't have to worry about the road (driveway) ending on you in front of someone's house.

It's such an adorable place, although it takes a little travel to get here... from my house on Wednesday I took a car, 3 planes, a train, a subway, a ferry boat, a bus, and some walking!

It's been fun to see my little sister again! It's been the longest I've ever not seen a sibling since she left for Norway. And she's all speaking Norwegian and being self sufficient! I'm so proud of her.
