"My wallet is anorexic:" final thoughts on Oslo

Here are the last of the photos from Norway, all of which were taken by Clem, who, as you will see, is a much more talented photographer than myself. Sorry about all the commas in that last sentence--eek!


Oslo from the plane--but you could probably tell that from the wing.

Adorable Norwegian child on skis. Did I mention how adorable Norwegian children are? Possibly even more adorable than British children because they're all outfitted in snowsuits and walk a lot like penguins. I really wanted to take one home but Clem assured me that customs would pose a serious problem.


Walking around the top of the mountain was difficult, especially because we didn't exactly pack hiking boots and the snow was often much deeper than it looked!

Now that we're back in London and courses have started, things have been fairly crazy, but tomorrow night I have been invited to a Burns dinner, in celebration of the Scottish poet Robert Burns, where I am apparently going to eat haggis (which is NOT a three-legged animal as I previously believed) and recite Scottish poetry. Stay tuned for updates! Hope everyone's having a great week!

Love,
Jess
