I apologize in advance for the shortness of this update, and the lack of hijinks described . I'm about to begin my holiday travels (in about 12 hours) and am trying to make sure everything is ready.
I will be spending Christmas with my distant family in southern Norway, and then traveling to Reykjavik, Iceland to spend New Years with a friend from my graduate program at UW.
I am taking the train to Oslo tomorrow. It is a six-hour ride, and I will be able to enjoy all 4 hours of daylight while on the train going through the Norwegian countryside. I am excited because it is an apparently beautiful trip. Once in Oslo I will be met by Tore Ramsrud (my second cousin, two generations removed), and he will give me a ride to his house in Hønefoss. I will spend several days with his family, and then spend Christmas Eve and Christmas with Morton Indrelid (my first cousin, two generations removed) and his family. Two more days after Christmas will be spent with Tore's family.
On December 29th I will be heading to Reykjavik, Iceland to visit with my friend Olafur. Olafur and I are in the same class in the graduate Structural Engineering program at UW. He comes from Iceland, and is doing the reverse of what I did, visiting UW for a time before returning home to Iceland. He has invited me to join him for New Years festivities in Reykjavik, so I will have an opportunity to see some of Iceland while I am there. I will be back in Trondheim on January 2nd.
I do not know what my internet availability will be like, so I doubt that there will be any new posts until after Christmas.
God Jul og Godt Nytt År!
