Week 2 already??

Hullo!
Aanna here.
Currently enjoying the afternoon sitting on a comfy blue couch with the sunshine streaming in from the window...ahhh =)
Class is going well; I did some calculating and figured out that in 1 class day we learn a week's worth of information! So it definitely is a lot to learn but I love it. I feel as though I'm learning just as much outside of the classroom as in because of being fully immersed in the culture! I've been told that I pick up on the Norwegian accent very well...so yay! Blast those American "R's"! =P
Britta and I are now at the Føyen's abode! It really is idyllic here...great paths for running/walking, a lake nearby, lots of room and space for relaxing, great yard, hammock in the tree, horses, flowers....and overall wonderfully welcoming people with great smiles ya shur ya betcha! God has definitely blessed us with hospitable friends.
Last weekend was a winner to be sure! (as if this trip as a whole isn't...??? hahaha) Hal and Ingerid took us to Hal's family's cabin on the coast of the Oslo Fjord. Absolutely stunning! It was really nice to be able to spend some quality time with them before switching houses and not worry about the next tram to catch, class to make, or people to meet up within Oslo. They took us to the End of the World---one of my new favorite places! I'll try and put some photos up soon to give you at least a glimpse of the unique beauty within the rocks, jellyfish, water, boats, lighthouse, paths, and bridges....yeah, it was pretty much amazing.
On Sunday, back at Ingerid's house, Britta and I had a 4th of July get together with friends that consisted of kubb, grilling, pølse med lompe og potetsalat (best way EVER to eat a hotdog!!), and craziness. It definitely was different celebrating the 4th in another country but great to have people to spend it with!
I'm going to try and upload some photos on this place der den!
Thanks for your prayers and interest in this adventure Britta and I are experiencing! It's greatly appreciated! ...and always nice to know we may happen to be missed by at least one person =)
Peace,
Aanna
