A quick note from Norge

Hi friends and fams! Whit's at practice right now, so I thought I'd drop everyone a line from Norway. The weather is pretty crummy, but Whit and I have had a few events each day, so we're not doing too bad. Mostly, it's just nice to be with my sister for a little while so close to Christmas.

Yesterday we had a hilarious experience, or at least we thought it was... we strolled down to the fish market to sample some of the excellent Norwegian salmon we've been hearing about. We get down there and step up to the counter, finding a man who speaks english. We chose a chunk of smoked salmon and he wrapped it up for us. When he returned, he asked us, in his nice Norwegian accent, "Where you from?" Whit answered, "The states." The man nodded and asked us, "I have some salmon I smoke for myself and you can have a taste." He went behind an island in the center of the fish pavillion and pulled out his special smoked salmon and sliced off a couple of tastes for us. Then we tried to say bye and thanks, but he just went on his merry way and forgot about us.

It was so funny. Why did he even ask us where we were from if all he wanted to do was give us a taste of his salmon? Maybe you had to be there, but it was all quite odd. So, we got our chunk of salmon and a taste of his and were on our way back into the cold, laughing our asses off.

Tomorrow we're going to Oslo with the team. I'm so excited to see Whit play! I'm going to try to take some video with my camera and post it, but who knows how that will go. She'll probably get to stay in Oslo with me until Monday too, the rest of the team leaves Sunday. So, that'll be nice, maybe we'll get to do something cool there, or get more tastes of old fishermen's salmon. Ha ha ha!

I've got lots of pics and stories from Dublin and some from here that I'll post and blog about when I get home to Spain.

I hope everyone's holiday seasons are going well. I'm starting to miss home a bit, since it's this time of year and all. So, know you're missed and thought of daily. Love to ya!
