I’m finally back from Norway! Sadly, I came back at the absolute worst time, right after it had snowed. The airport was a mess, and I was there for over 5 hours after landing. Yuck. And it barely snowed in the areas I was in inside of Norway, so basically I missed all of the snow (with the exception of a couple light flurries and preexisting snow in Røros and Tynset.)
I had a really amazing time. I was treated like family by my boyfriend’s family’s Jul, and got to try all sorts of new Norwegian Christmas foods! Reindeer, Jul sausage, pork patties, pork cutlets, and more… Served, of course, with potatoes and some lingonberry jam. And I got so many gifts– and I had the joy of shopping for gifts for others as well! It was fantastic.
I’ll post more later, of course, but I’m back home. 🙂
