After a terrible 5 hour bus ride, we arrived. Oslo was immediately different- bustling and diverse and hot. Our route to Røa was thwarted of course by construction and security from the bombing. We made it to the hardware store where Kristin, Ingrid's sister, works. She passed off the keys and some tips to navigating the area and we set off for 33 Aslakveien. I didn't read her first email carefully enough because I didn't know which apartment or which floor was hers. I had to knock on every unmarked door until the 4th floor. Her apartment is absolutely beautiful- potted ivy, lavender, and orchids are everywhere. The picture windows in the dining room and bedroom look into the Oslo hills to Holmenkollen (huge ski jump). Every single thing has its place.
We played Nuts (getting closer now to our 1000 point mark), and got ready to go out to Grønerløkken for dinner, an area called Oslo's Greenwich Village. On the subway, a Irish guy commented on my Claddaugh ring and suggested we go for beers to place called 'Rees' which serves three beers for 100 Nkr. We actually found it without really trying- a shady spot near the park called 'Ryes.' It seemed a local restaurant; Norwegians were on dates or hanging out with friends. More Nuts. Bed.
