I decided to take a friend up on an offer to come visit Norway. I am 1/4 Norwegian but don't know much about that side of my family heritage partly due to my grandpa passing away when my mom was young. So 4 days after the idea was planted i had tickets and here i am! with the average temp. -5 to 0 degrees so far, i am enjoying myself(just cold at times)meeting people and seeing what its like when its not 80 degrees and sunny :) also lucky for me my friend/tour guide speaks fluent norwegian :)
