A quick update about last weekend's trip to Oslo! Nina arrived last week, we spent a couple of days enjoying Madrid (and me working, of course) then on Friday afternoon we headed north! The flight was 3 hours, the longest i think i've been on since being here! I was sort of skeptical, i must admit, but it ended up being an AMAZING weekend. The weather was beautiful---very very very cold, of course, but sunny. We both lacked proper footwear for all the snow, but we stayed warm enough. We even got adventurous--we did a 2km tobaggen run in the mountains above oslo and attempted cross country skiing! the first was terrifying , the second very difficult. First time in my life on skis...so i fell a lot (actually...walking around the city in my not-made-for-snow boots was treacherous enough). the city was beautiful, we visited the art museum which has a huge collection of edward munch, including "the scream" and the frogerparker (or something like that) park which is the most famous attraction in norway...a huge park filled with sculptures of all varieties of naked people!
thats it for now, time for class, this weekend off to valencia!
