1-10-11 NORTHERN LIGHTS

So there were a few guests who wanted to see the northern lights while up in Bodø. I said I have not seen them from in the city before... so we got adventurous and at 10pm after I was done working, we all walked up to the top of a little mountain, away from the city and saw 2 hours of amazing northern lights, here are the fotos!

1-5-11 Juleferie

Christmas break was pretty fun. Things did not work out at Elins, but its a good thing I have some good friends. Jonas and his family took me in for Christmas.. it was great! We had the tradional meals of grøtt, pinnekjøtt, and ribbe. Jonas and I also spent a day in Sweden to hit up some after Christmas sale. I did not buy anything, except new pipe tabacco and some cigars. After being at Jonass for a few days, I flew up to Ålesund and spent new years with Matthias, Astrid (his girlfriend) and Ester (Astrids friend). I wish I would have gotten some pictures of all the fireworks lit off on New Years, butttttt I didnt. While with Matthias, we had some great meals including, Fondu and raclette, and also a ham baked inside of bread which was really good. Overall it was a great Christmas, and now I am back in Bodø and getting back in the groove of things, it actually feels really good to be back here.






Sun rise in Asker.

Looking southwest over the Atlantic towards the US.




The light house just outside of Ålesund.





Matthias thought his pigdekks (tires with spikes) would get him up the hill made of glare ice... we got stuck. So we had to spread sand over the ice to get some traction.





Mor`s Kro in Kvam, roughly half way between Ålesund and Oslo by bus.
