A Norwegian Adventure!

So I realize it's been a while since I last wrote a blog post, and I just wanted to say I haven't dropped off the face of the Earth. Instead, I've been gallivanting all over Norway with one of my best friends! My oldest friend and sister (from another mother, so to speak) came to visit me for a week so I've been playing host and tourist guide. And consequently the blog has gotten a little forgotten in the excitement of it all. Even though I treat this blog as a cooking blog, I thought I would share some of the fun (and photos) from our Norwegian adventure. For those of you that one day want to visit Norway, this is a little taste of what you can expect, and for those of you that don't plan on coming to Norway, well, now you can say you've vicariously visited it through us. 🙂

Bergen has some beautiful and amazing graffiti. Maddie took this picture of me in front of some over by Bergen's swimming pool.
