7-5-2010 Norwegian 4th of July and other stuff

Well, 4th of July was a pretty low key one here. Elin and I had the day off, so we went into Haugesund where we got on a bus and took it to the island of Karmøy. It took about an hour by bus but we made it to a little place called Åkresanden where there is a nice white sand beach. Although it was too cold to go swim or lay on the beach, it was nice to see. Then we bussed back to Haugesund where we ate at Egon, which I think is my favorite Norwegian food place, I ate a chicken wok, and Elin had a ravioli chicken salad. Good stuff, but the bad part was that Norwegians do not know how to make a cherry coke? What the hell?






This was from the night before the 4th.... one of my favorite pictures so far.
