Norway, Part 5

Ok, so I am finally done getting thru my Norway pics! WHO HOO! (I'm sure all of you out there are glad as well :)). So, after this post there will be ONE more Norway post and then on to other things!

Bruce is apparently pretty big in Norway and he was doing a concert while we were there (not in the same city though), go Bruce!

Lefse used to show up at my mom's family reunions. It was all my brother and I would eat if someone made it. So Yummy!!!

No need to apologize! I think Norway is beautiful and fascinating, and reminds me a little bit of home. Keep 'em coming.

Those pics of you & Ad are adorable/funny! I remember seeing a glacier for the first time and being strangely disappointed; it wasn't quite how I imagined. But beautiful nonetheless. B adorable as always!

oh my! I can't believe it's almost over. Since I never plan on visiting, it's SO GOOD to see it through your eyes. I've appreciated seeing so many pics - i'd be hard pressed to find so many good ones in my memory card.

Oooof! That Lefsa looks horrendous -- what type of plate presentation is that? Looks like bad kid food. Nothing like waiting and waiting for a this so-called fantastic Norwegian specialty & that's what you get!

Oh, and i also LOVE the pics, of course. -Izzy
