Norway in a Nutshell

Mom, Aunt Minnie and I along with a few classmates are going to do this on Saturday. It leaves at 6:30am and comes back at 10:30pm -- a full day of beauty. It's 1,500 kroners ($250 USD) but so worth it. As Rick Steves says, "if you go to Oslo and don't get out to the countryside, you should have your passport revoked." ;)  I am not using fellowship money for this experience because it was too expensive and not directly related to my research.  However, I still feel it is very important to go.  My mother was very kind and is treating me to the trip as a gift for being their tour guide.  :)
