I told her that she had some beautiful kids!

She turned around and nearly smiled:)

We have never had so many cruise ships arriving in Stavanger before.

Well, this is one leaving.

Do you see the people at the top?

I have only been on a 3 days cruise from Oslo to Kiel (Germany)

Have you tried a cruise holiday? If yes, where did you go??

Click on "cruise ships" after labels, and you will see many more.

This used to be a little kiosk, and there used to be many kiosks like this around town. Kiosks have pretty much all disappeared as they could not compete with the big shops.

Now this one is just a canvas for graffiti and stands in an area where taxi drivers often park while waiting for jobs.

I see that in many other countries, little kiosks like this manage to survive.

A nice and very kind voffy, in one of the quiet little roads in "Old Stavanger."

Do you see the lady with the hat?

She asked me if I knew were she could buy a Pin with a Norwegian symbol. I work part time at the airport, and just a few minutes later 3 other Ladies came and asked the same question.

Unfortunately I could not help, but I thought about the blog, and why not take a picture of these 4 friends together. Well, that was ok with them, but what I did not realize was that they were in a group of 17 people (from all over the USA.) So there I was with my little camera and a group in front of me.... I wish I could had time to hear from more of your trip. But I know that you were on your way to Stockholm, via Oslo, and will continue to Finland before heading back to the States.

The woman (in red) next to the lady with the hat, had even been a student at "Fana Folkehøgskole", a bording school outside Bergen, and they had been visiting a similar school out at Jæren, including a visit to the author Arne Garborgs summerhouse. You will definitely have a lot of memories with you, including from Denmark, where you were before coming to Norway.

Have a nice time!!

(PS. Yes I found out about "Road Scholar" http://www.roadscholar.org/)

And I did post your postcards:)

My friend (NN) keeps saying that "farmers have nothing to do in a town. . . . They should all move out of town so we could have got more places for flats and houses."

Do you agree?
