It's holiday time

Its funny how I have loved everyplace I have been in during holidays in Norway. Elverum had it's own charm and it was a quiet little place with beautiful nature. The trees lovley in the late days of Autumn, the flowers so pretty and the water in front of Alfred's house inviting. It was cold then and its cold now,but it's still delightful. Random hugs, a few beers here and there.great movies and a nice mother who made delicious lasangna and chocolate cake. It was indeed a lovely holiday. Oslo was also an experience with Alfred's father and his apartment. I still remember the pure sound of his Gibson guitars and the cluttered atmosphere of a talented artist's house. It was nice to joke around and talk to him and his Risotto was fantastic.

Inderøya on it's own was also very warm and comforting to celebrate christmas. Anders and his loving dog Teo made my few days before christmas so nice. It was nice to have the doggy sleep in my bed so I could cuddle him. I took him for a walk and it was funny to watch him fight with Ubaldo's dog,or at least his family's dog. He was a cute little fellow.Anders's Reindeer dish was delicious and we watched some movies together and he took me on the Golden route to see the farm houses. Det var jo spennende. Adolphe,Sigri,Bahoue,Michael and Louise were also kind to me and I did have a good time there,playing cards,eating chocolate and going for walks.

Frøya!!! It ranks top on the list so far. My mom in Norway resides in this beautiful,scenic Island called Frøya,3 hours by boat from Trondhiem. She is not going to be too happy reading this,if she ever does,because the word mom does not digest well with her.But she is a Mommy!!! She is 24 and studies psychology and wants to shift to physiotherapy soon. It was a lovely time in Frøya, with her family. I went fishing with my mom,her boyfriend,on his company boat and caught six fish. It was exciting. We also went sightseeing a bit,and learning to ski with momma and Stine was also fun. I fell on my butt many times but it was fun learning it. She was there all along. Kayaking was also something I will always remember about Frøya. She was there again,this time taking the role of the rescue diver,but I managed fine. It was cool kayaking in the little bay in front of her house. Other than that,the random conversations,the fish and the other delicious chow, the numerous movies, Yatsy,and all the love,I will never forget it. It was a fantastic holiday.

And...now,I am in Egersund,near Stavanger with a dear friend,Karl Johan. He is a miljø freak as Katarina put it. A nice, caring guy with a big heart. This is a stunning place with water everywhere,lots of greenery and it feels like being in Nuwaraeliya in Sri Lanka. We visited Katarina yesterday,grilled hot dogs in a park,drank hot chocolate at her home and just lazed around. Another good friend. It's back to Katarina tomorrow.
