We went to church this morning, God Bless her, Kristen translated the WHOLE sermon for Mike and I. Very good teaching on relationship, better than I expected given what Ive been hearing about the state of Norweigian Christianity on the whole. Then we went up to Kristen's folk's for BBQ and relaxing in the summer like weather. Yes, never fear, I am as truly pale as ever I have been.


Charlie put up a couple of ropes in the trees and started practicing for his future job as tightrope walker. He is truly amazing. I can't even do this kind of stuff on the ground.


All in all, a fully satisfying day. Tomorrow I face the mail system...Bring it on Norway, Im ready for you...
