Monday in Norway

sinjunIt's just as cloudy here as it was back home. Though hopefully they have better weather there today. They were supposed to.
Parts of this place remind me of Northern Ontario. Lots of green and huge slate rock type things at the sides of the roads, not to mention water everywhere. Course, the hills here are taller than the Canadian Shield, but there are distinct similarities.
People are nice, but Norwegian is still difficult to understand. At least spoken is. The written has many words that are French spelling or close to English, so that is sometimes easier to figure out. Because you know, pommes frites is pronounced pomfrey. Or at least, that's how my ears heard it.
Go figure.

We looked to make sure nothing impeded the track or the sensors. But, we just didn't find anything.
I intend to keep trying to figure it out, however.
