After what seemed like days, we finally arrived in Oslo to see our friends, Ampy and Sverre, and their three kids (Simon and Sander - twins, age 4 and Sophie - age 2). We had a lovely dinner last night and then slept for 10 hours. Today has been great! Neither one of us felt jet lagged at all. We had a leisurely morning and then went to the Nobel Peace Center by the waterfront. It currently has an exhibit of American civil rights history, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Obama in recognition of Obama's recent winning of the Award. After the Nobel Peace Center, we went to a little restaurant on the water and had $100 pizza for lunch. Yes, $100! Eating out is extraordinarily expensive so Ampy said we would be eating at home most of the time. The weather is cold (about 41 degrees) and rainy but we love the change! Here are some pictures from our first day:
